Olivia, after finishing her song, stood and bowed for the professor, because when one gave such a performance as hers.... A brilliant one, thank you... one needed to recognize their audience.

Thank you, thank you. Hold your applause!

Anyway, they were moving on with the discussion, and Liv had zero problems following along, as the subject matter was among her absolute favorites. The Wizard of Oz was so much more than a muggle film, of course. It had been a novel originally, yes, but with time... it had also been a musical... and she felt confident that she could speak for Rooney (as well as herself) when she said that the play, Wicked, was far superior in every way.

There was really no competition, to be frank... but one couldn't make valid comparisons when theatre was involved, could one?

"The Wicked Witch of the West, of course... but not because of this film. She was portrayed as Elphaba Thropp in the musical Wicked... and between the costuming, script, and original songs, there just really is no comparison. It explains more of her personal journey and why she is the way she is. I think that's actually the most interesting part! Learning why something is as it is."

Were they going to watch the whole film, though?
