That’s what I figured!! I’m like, this rant is genius and then that ad pops up and I’m like, “Oh I KNOW Saeed and Zach will have notes!!” Haha keep up the great work you guys ❤️

As a proud and now longtime resident of Fresno, there are so few positive reference to our town receives in pop culture, so these are treasured haha

And FTR, no shade to Saeed and Zach, I’m just calling out the ad to ensure they’re aware that whoever gets the ad approvals is not promoting the very thing they and so many of us are trying to call out.

You do know Wicked (2024) won 2 Oscars, neither of which is the one you mentioned since that isn’t awarded currently? It won Best Costume Design for Paul Tazewell (a historical win, btw) and Production Design.

Bonus: My movie-musical choice! Seven Brides for Seven Brothers; it’s just fun! And that dancing tho…😍 🎭

My musical choice-The Lion King; it kept me in theatre when I *thought* I was ready to leave it behind.

My play choice-The Glass Menagerie; I never knew a script could capture me in such a compelling, beautiful way.
