Bud Light Drops Thousands To LGBTQ+ Group, Allyship Still Feels Hazy

Jonathan Bailey has set the record straight (well…) on his recent "retirement" quote, recalled how it felt like to grow up with "shame," and dropped very interesting tidbits about Fiyero's journey in Wicked: For Good — particularly as it impacts the two main characters of the story: Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande).

"One thing Fiyero feels strongly is that Elphaba needs to be protected. So he leaves Glinda," Bailey told Esquire (UK). "His inability to make a decision on his own is what 'Dancing Through Life' is about, until he meets Elphaba and something is awakened in him. In the stage show it's brilliant and moving, but it's also kind of comedic and light. In this film [Wicked: For Good] it feels quite brutal and dark."
