And why doesn't she sing, "Let us be lad, let us be rateful?"

Her name is originally "Galinda" and not "Glinda". I guess technically she should say "The ah is silent" but if you know the whole story of "Wicked" (including the source material) you get the intent. Actually if you pay attention during the class scenes you hear it clearly said (though not by the teacher) as Galinda.

To tell you the truth, I'm much more concerned about whether Annie kept up with the other orphans after she became rich. Pepper seemed to really have some psychological issues and Annie needed to get her some professional help.

It worked for G(a)Wanda Sykes.

And I'm sure Annie found all the girls on facebook and they had a nice reunion. (Those still alive 70 years later, that is).

And wouldn't it be ironic if all these girls ended up back together again in a new kind of home all these years later.

I would like to know why Dr. Doolittle could talk to animals, but the Cowardly Lion and Toto couldn't have a meaningful conversation.

I don't think they had that much in common.

I'm very worried about Louise. With her father dead, Nettie Fowler going senile and her mother still grieving, I'm afraid she'll go wild. She may go to a carnival and meet a carousel barker and never break the cycle of dependency on bad men. Someone better inform her ward, Mr. Bascombe.

Here's what I don't get...

I understand that Wicked: The Musical can't use ruby slippers, since the shoes were changed for the MGM movie... but everything else, like Toto, and the Yellow Brick Road, are in the original book and were used in the Maguire novel.

But Wicked does get around the ruby slippers, by putting a red light on silver shoes - it's very high tech.

Speaking of that wasn't the (a) in Grizbella's name silent also?

In the Book the shoes aren't ruby but diamond slippers. The thing they use in Wicked that was in the movie (that they could not use anything from) and not the book is the witch being green. Not sure how they got around that one legally.

I could have sworn the witch was green in the book. I need to read it again.

There were tons of adaptations of the book before the MGM movie came along, and I am pretty sure that at least one of them featured a green witch. The MGM movie was basically cobbled together from a ton of preexisting adaptations, with the exception of the ruby slippers (which they used in order to show off Technicolor).

Anyway, pretty sure Wicked got away with a green witch because MGM did not invent the idea.

The witch is definately green in the book.

No, the witch is not green in Baum's book. Like the Ruby slippers that were added for technicolor, so was the witch's skin tone.

I think I just peed myself.
