I loved their friendship. I am keeping myself spoiler-free for the second half, though I can already tell the Wiz is the father.

Actors - I had minimal exposure to the leads other than Jonathan Bailey from Bridgerton. He did very well here. Cynthia Erivo was a bit too “heavy” for me - not in terms of actual weight, but maybe all the dark/black colors. I’ve never been a fan of the few Ariana songs I’ve heard but was stunned by her voice here. Can’t wait for part 2!

That was obvious from the very beginning because they show him visiting with the mother, implying they had some kind of a fling.

Not obvious to me I’m afraid. They never showed his face at the beginning, and I didn’t pick up on the voice bc I didn’t know Jeff Goldblum was playing the Wiz until he showed up. I only figured it out based on his tap dance song and demeanor towards E

I’m not sure the wizard knows Elphaba is his daughter.
