Line 87:

== Theater ==

* Elphaba and Glinda from ''[[Wicked (theatre)|Wicked]]'' have a very close bond. It starts off as pure [[Foe Yay]] full of [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] but morphs into a fluffy friendship, most likely the closest in the musical. It's even thicker than in the [[Wicked (novel)|source book]], as the musical focuses almost entirely on them. However Glinda is apparently in love with Fiyero and Elphaba's in love with Fiyero, {{spoiler|plus he lives in the musical}}, so that gets in the way of any of their romance. [[Word of Gay]] backs their romance up but it's hard to say whether they were ever together.

** The source book makes it fairly clear that Glinda was too self-absorbed and mired in what she thought she should be to ever step that far out of her assigned role, being just barely able to acknowledge Elphaba as a friend despite the depth of her feeling. Elphaba, meanwhile, is clearly uncomfortable with being close to ''anybody'', and is only able to kiss Glinda just before parting from her because she knows they'll probably never see each other again. Glinda is left flummoxed and confused by Elphaba's feelings and her own, and any realizations she might have had about those feelings are hidden beneath her forced manner and position as a member of the Wizard's regime the next time we see her.
