KABOOM. Look at that bod. This man has put a lot of work into it and you cannot tell me he isn't game for us to celebrate those gams, so let's set off some fireworks. WOW. The juxtaposition of wrinkled-ass pants and CHISELED STONE LEGS is also deeply hilarious.

YES JONNY, work that hip-hinge. Your glutes will thank you and so will we all.

Naturally, your Elphaba and Galinda came in their standard cosplay. Cynthia looks SO formal, and Ariana... the top comes off like she designed it herself by stretching out wedding garters. It's too cutesy for me.

The rule was supposed to be that Jonathan Bailey's thighs were in every picture, but I didn't have one of him with just Cynthia, and you couldn't really see her outfit well enough in the previous picture. It's fancy but it's fun enough; she looks like she's going to a posh afternoon tea with all her besties. After which she will change into sneakers.

Marissa looks fabulous and fresh and cute -- that is more the photocall vibe I would expect, and I love it. Ethan also looks very nice and I am SO SO curious if this is going to last through to Wicked Part 2, now that he and Ariana are not each other's emotional support cast members during the shoot.

"Legs Benedict would be a much better joke if I played Benedict Bridgerton. Alas, what can one do but take the puns one finds."
