The North hates the South, the South hates the North, and at one point South Jersey even legitimately toyed with the idea of seceding from the rest of the state. It’s tradition at this point.

So, when NJ.com decided to take our legendary sibling rivalry and turn it into a full-blown Broadway-style parody? Two words: Absolute perfection.

Wicked, But Jersey-Fied

In case you’ve missed the internet this week, Wicked: For Good has officially hit theaters, marking the grand finale to last year’s Part 1. Fans of the Wicked musical have been waiting for this finale for quite a long time.

To celebrate, NJ.com took “What Is This Feeling?,” one of the most iconic songs from the first film (and Broadway musical), and reimagined it as a hilarious north-vs.-south Jersey sing-off.
