Flying Monkey from Wicked Ornament Raffle Ticket

Handmade by Brian Britigan

If the name Chistery means anything to you… congratulations, you are gay. As real ones know, it is neither Galinda nor Elphaba who open Wicked, but a squadron of flying monkeys descending from ropes (stage version) and breaking glass (film version). While the monkeys in the stage play bear a strong resemblance to Rachel Dratch’s SNL depiction of Angelina Jolie’s biological child with her brother James, the film’s version updates them, taking these creatures from feral-child-escaped-from-institution to regal-human-ancestors. This ornament memorializes this iconic update. Elake nahmen nahmen ah tum ah tum, indeed.
