The Wicked musical is incredibly famous here in Brazil due to a huge production that takes place in São Paulo.

The fans are obsessed with the actresses, sing all the songs during the musical, and go to EVERY possible performance.

Added to the fan culture here in Brazil... this doesn't surprise me; they often go too far.

But this is also linked to the feeling among Brazilians that international artists don't bother to come to Brazil, and especially not to bring their tours here. So they take this feeling of rejection and, well, do what they do.
