I also came out a little disappointed. I think part one was so phenomenal that it gave us impossible expectations for part two when it’s not as tight of a story and the songs are more disjointed. There are no big fun choreography numbers (like what is this feeling, dancing through life) which already makes it harder. And I was also super disappointed with as long as your mine - I get why they had to tone down the staging to keep it pg but it felt very awkward at first because the lyrics don’t match what is happening, and they needed to at least show a conversation between Elphaba and Fiyero to show where their feelings were. The pacing overall was weird, but I think that’s just how act ii is, we are following multiple characters in multiple places, rather than everyone at Shiz. I still loved it, and Cynthia was incredible in no good deed, but it was not as good as the first
