The biggest Broadway musical adaptation has hit the big screen, and for some reason Evangelicals have some thoughts on it. Our dear friend Jessica Goforth from the Leaving the Village podcast sat down with us to chat about the new movie, Wicked: Part 1.We spend a chunk of the episode talking about musical theatre in general, along with some other Wicked-adjacent topics, so if you want to jump straight into our conversation about Wicked itself, skip straight to 37:40.Nate recently wrote an essay with even more thoughts on some of the political themes in Wicked as well as how some of the characters resonate with the Exvangelical experience.
