Probably not a coincidence
No spoilers.
Selene and I saw Wicked last week, finally. It was totally amazing. We've been listening to the soundtrack a lot since then, because it is also amazing. One thing struck me after a few listens though. There's this motif of sorts that interjects itself a few times throughout the soundtrack... it's not a fully-developed song exactly ( Read more... ) -
