Let’s face, the love for Depraved isn’t going anyplace.
Whether or not you’re a diehard fan of the novels by Gregory Maguire, you’re a Depraved Broadway stan via and thru, otherwise you’re simply moving into the Depraved-verse because of the 2024 film, everybody can be welcome on the park I’m proposing. What wouldn’t it entail? Whereas that’s in the end as much as Common Studios, I’ve some options. (Whereas they haven’t introduced a Depraved World, possibly we are able to persuade them?)
What points of interest ought to be part of Depraved World?
Whereas there are many issues that ought to be there for the lifelong followers of the supply materials, The Wizard of Oz, (like traipsing down the yellow brick street or laying in a subject of poppies), it’s the Depraved materials that we’re actually after right here.
First on the agenda? We’ve got to have Shiz College. They might promote Shiz jumpers. They might make a journey out of that tumbling spiral of books within the college library. Perhaps you possibly can make the whole lot levitate so you possibly can really feel as particular as Elphaba when she first arrives.
Subsequent up, rescuing animals within the magical forest. This might be the mild journey for youthful Depraved followers or only a chill place for everybody who wants a break from the recent summer time solar. Since speaking animals are such a giant a part of the plot, they may have animatronic animals chatting with you whilst you slowly plod via an enchanted forest stuffed with glowing flowers and hanging tree limbs.
Lastly, you have to have a brush journey. Might all of us defy gravity like Elphaba does on the finish of the primary act.
Honorable mentions: Little kiosks of inexperienced potion bottles, inexperienced face-painting, and a pink vogue store for many who channel severe Galinda power.
However the place would Depraved World go? Right here’s what it ought to substitute.
Can all of us agree that The Wizarding World of Harry Potter has gotten stale? Even when it wasn’t for its transphobic creator poisoning the entire franchise, it’s nonetheless been the flagship expertise since 2010. There are solely so many instances you possibly can drink Butterbeer or watch the Beaubatons dance earlier than you’re sick of the place.
Right here’s my proposal: Chuck The Wizarding World of Harry Potter into the magical hearth and erect Depraved World as a substitute. Breathe new life into the theme park. You’re welcome, Common Studios.
