Does anyone remember that first Wicked preview where Fiyero date-rapes Elphaba, and then murders Glinda to cover his tracks? This was, of course, before it was a musical.
Prediction: A bunch of teeny boppers won't get that I'm kidding and will post how they don't think that ending would have worked. Sorry, I'm feeling bitter and nasty today.

Yeah, I remember that. Nessarose, who wasn't really crippled, was an accomplice. After she escapes with Fiyero, she whacks him and then hooks up with the Wizard.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

But not before having a really long awkward threesome with Dr. Dillamond and Madame Morrible.

Of course, you forgot the most important part:
Elphaba publishes a tell-all book of the 'Winkie-Munchkin Murders' called "If I Did It

The wizard then comes back to life as a vampire in a Lestat parody that even Elton John would love.

Of course, Fiyero comes back and dresses in drag while picking up trash for community service. Sadly, the HAIRSPRAY popcorn bucket didn't make it into the can.
And Morrible was thrusting back in a concert version of CARRIE.

Posted: 3/10/07 at 5:38pmOf course, Nessa and Fiyero are found making out in the back seat of his Prius and they are arrested. And Elphaba falls off the cherry picker.

Fiyero then suffocates Nessa with a bonecake, and Rico, Fiyero's "business partner", bails him out. The two run away together to Canada.

Posted: 3/10/07 at 8:00pmYeah... yeah... But Joe Mantello cut all that out after realizing he shouldn't be getting story points from Broadwayworld.com board members.

Cutting "The Ballad Of Billy McCaw" from CATS. The song (which is on the London cast recording) is just boring and way too long.

Posted: 3/11/07 at 4:00pmSadly, they cut 14G from Millie. I heard Kristin Chenoweth sing it in concert and I loved it.

Posted: 3/11/07 at 5:25pmAllentown, "14G" was never in Millie. It was just written by the same songwriters.
