I know many people would totally disagree with but me... but what the heck....
WICKED, when Dorothy drops in and kills Neseros.
Dorothy meets Glinda and later confronts Elphaba
Doro. I know we're not in Kansas anymore.
Glin. Are you a good witch or a bad witch?
Doro. Im not a witch at all.
Glin. Well, is that the witch.
Doro. Who Toto, he's my dog.
Glin. Im a little muttered, the munchinks called upon me saying that a witch has droped a house, so what I want to know, are you a good witch or a bad witch?
Doro. Oh, no. Witches are old and ugly.
(munckins laugh)
Glin. The munchkins are laughing because I am a witch.
Doro. I beg your pardon. I never heard of a beautiful witch before.
Glin. Only bad witches are ugly.
Doro. What are munchkins?
Glin. Come out, come out wherever you are. And meet the young lady who fell from a star. She brings us good news, or havent you heard, when she fell from this heaven, a miracle occured.
(Maybe sing a new song like Good News Shes Dead or something, a totally new song)
(Elph drops in)
Doro. I thought she was dead.
Glin. That was the Neseros, this is Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, far more powerful than the other one.
Elph. Who killed my sister, was it you?
Doro. It was an accident
Elph. Well, I can cause accidents too.
Glin. Are you forgeting something, the slippers
Elph. Yes! The slippers
(Slippers appear on Dorothy)
Elph. They're gone.
Glin. The're they are and the're they'll stay
Elph. Give them back to me, give them back.
Glin. Hold on tight inside of them, they must be magic or she wouldnt want it so bad.
Elph. Stay out of this Glinda.
Glin. You have no power here
Elph. Give them back, they're no use to you.
Glin. Be gone, before somebody drops a house on you.
Elph. It's true, I cant attend you here as much as Ill like, ill bide my time. Just try to stay out of my way, just try. Ill get you my pretty, and your little dog too. Ha ha ha.
I would be soo happy if this scene was in.

"Yes, Fiyero AND Boq should have their own songs... or maybe a duet..."
They can sing I Knew Him (Her) So Well...I'm getting a vision...
also, the tricky thing with Wicked is that they can't actually refer to anything related to the Wizard of Oz...no Dorothy, no "slippers", just jewled shoes so taking that scene almost exactly from the movie would just never work
Some guy: You looked great!
Idina: Thanks...I WAS SO HIGH! 8/21/05

I know, I just had to give it a try.
It would be nice though.

**WICKED**
I agree with Fiyero getting a solo. but i just don't like Boq...i don't like the character or anything i don't know why but i don't. I would probibly want a duet with Nessa and Elphie but i don't really know how it would work in the grand scheme of things
**Annie Get Your Gun**
It's not adding...it's taking away. when we did this show in school...years ago...it was the longest damn show i've ever been in. I probibly would have taken away one or two of the many songs Frank and Annie had together and added a song for Dolly maybe a lament or something...because as i recall she didn't like Annie at all.
**Jesus Chirst Superstar**
Give Mary and Jesus a song together. i know she sings to him but just something lacks in that show...don't get me wrong i love it but something is missing.
**Sound of Music**
It doesn't seem Capt. von Trapp cares for his children at all till near the end...i would like to see Edelweiss have been performed once before in the show with maybe just him singing it to the youngest child. call me messed up but i would like it and i understand that that's how the character is suppost to be...but everyone has a soft side.
