I can't believe I'm joining a Wicked thread either... but i love Wicked. Well, I hate to say this because I don't want a bad rep. but I loved Wicked originall because I think Idina Menzel is an amazing artist and performer and tend to love all the shows she's in. (hopefully I spelled all that right)... but yes, anyway, My fave part of wicked is that each time I see (3 times now) I see something new (ie like the Witch's shadow in the clock), or notice a new hilarious line. It's almost more like seeing a movie rather than a Broadway show- it belongs in its own category.. it's a spectacle.

glad to be here.

I also dislike them taking out the Animals rights issue from the book. It is so central to Elphaba's character development, and without it I never quite feel as if the musical's Elphaba is as dedicated / extreme / inspired to oppose the wizard. It takes out a lot of the depth that I loved in the book / novel's version of Elphaba (no disprespect to either Idina or Shosh).

But I loved that Elphaba did not die in the musical (personally), and because it IS a show and a commercial product dependent upon audience approval etc. and without that uplifting ending not as many people would have liked it and it would not have done as well commercially...I understand why they changed / added / clarified it.

As concerns the ending - it is fully within the rights of the creators to take whatever license they want with the source material to fashion the pice they want to create. When Lerner and Loewe were working on My Fair Lady, Alan Jay Lerner, an incurable romantic, insisted on adding the last scene where Eliza comes back to Henry's house. He wanted to leave the audience with at least the thought that they had not been parted forever. This certainly was not in the original concept of Pygmalian - and not in keeping with Shaw's ideas at all. But it was their creation to do with as they saw fit - to convey that which they wanted to.

I'm a fan, nothing more, nothing less

umm, shouldnt you wait to see if more than two people are interested first? i think a few people here ahem*bwayguy*ahem might think making a fanclub is completely contrary to the whole sane thing. (just noting his reaction to the fanclub idea on the hairspray forum)
