OK, I can categorically state that the version of @WickedUK we’ve got @brumhippodrome is the best (of 4) I’ve seen. Glinda is hilarious, Elpheba nails all the big notes, the messages about fake news & false enemies have never been more relevant and OMG THE HATS! (not pictured) pic.twitter.com/dGb7rY8CL7
