How about the fact that Elphaba is green because of her mom - and dad's - addiction to the green elixir.

"Jimmy ODs in Dreamgirls, IIRC."

In the original version of Dreamgirls, there's no real mention of drugs IIRC but yes, he ODs in the movie version.

Butters, go buy World of Warcraft, install it on your computer, and join the online sensation before we all murder you. --Cartman: South Park ATTENTION FANS: I will be played by James Barbour in the upcoming musical, "BroadwayWorld: The Musical."

I thought she was green because they were from different worlds. The elixir is just an intoxicant.

****SPOILERS******


Just to clear things up, in American Idiot the drugs Johnny uses doesn't gain the admiration of the girl. They were already "together" and he convinces her to try heroin and while she's reluctant at first, she gives in because he tells her to trust him. Then whatever Piragua Guy2 said after that is true.

I think there's a Morphine Tango in Kiss of the Spider Woman.
