@meticulator Yeah, I apologize for my seeming ignorance. I was halfway through the book when I saw the musical, and my friend told me that in the book, the Wizard isn't her dad. I definitely think he is now that I've read it myself.
@WiccanBrald There's no "technically" about it, he actually IS her father. It's why she was so powerful in the magicks. She was a child of BOTH worlds.
I hate it when he sings "everyone deserves the chance to fly"--for me it gives an inspirational song like Defying Gravity a bitter taste, but I guess that's the whole point of it, just like in The Wizard and I
@BeccaWei25331 This song took place before "Defying Gravity", and when she said "as someone told me lately", she meant the Wizard said that line to her. She turned his words on him. XD
Elphaba rocks! Sadest thing is we the theatre geeks love it now, but when the movie comes out......EVERYONE is going to be raving on how they liked it before anyone else did! :) I still will love it though !
Aww Elphie!! Am I the only one who loves Elphaba more? Maybe its because we can relate or maybe green skin, or the outcast girl is cute? haha anyone agree with me?
this part is so sad!!!!!!! poor elphaba... this is where it all goes down hill :'( sigh i didn't want to believe the wizard was that kind of man... poor Chistery too!
I absoluteley LOVE the "So Elphaba I'd like to raise you high... coz I think everyone deserves the chance to fllllly!" Ahhh, thanks for putting this on here... my mam has my soundtrack in her car -_-
OMG THE WIZARD IS HER DAD...dang momma's been busy. jk i know he used elixir on melena

@SarahSilvermanRocks ... The writers made it so that elphaba was the protagonist. I believe just about everyone agrees with you.
