@00columbia00 You do realise that Wicked is based on this musical, the original of which is over 70 years old....?? Why would they do anything to 'fit with' Wicked?!! It would have to be the other way round! Great Lloyd Webber tune here.
@mushypeas10 No, Wicked: The Musical is based off of The Book "Wicked: The Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of The West", which is based on the original Oz books.
@00columbia00 Well they intentionally made The Wicked Witch look different from Elphaba, seems to be like they did that with both witches just to point out that they are two different takes on oz.
beautiful song... but with galinda, you would have thought they would have her as a blonde, so it fits in with wicked, theyv done most things to fit with wicked, like the ozians costumes!
It ended with “And there’s no place, as good as… home!” That was reused from the preview version. I prefer this lyric better. I also prefer to end this on a softer ending earlier like in the preview and reprise it in the finale with the full company for the big finish when Dorothy finds the the ruby slippers
@Boonedaba LOL, I have heard less tenuous arguments during this year's Republican race than that one - and that's saying something. To say that Wicked is not based on the Oz musical - but one book to another defies the genre and is cloud cuckoo. I have no great attachment to either, but I do find the fascination around Wicked somewhat odd.
West End live is performed outside, where ALL the West End shows performs and hey put up a stage at Trafalgar Square, so you've got the crowd, the fountains and cars and buses all around
