I had the same thought. Also the video suggests that they’re playing up the notion that, as a munchkin, Boq is very short. That seems like an odd thing to play up given the munchkins in this movie are normal sized.

Having not read the book does Boq have a last name in the book?

^No, he doesn’t. The movie doesn’t seem worried about giving away spoilers for the plot at all. I guess they figure that the majority of the primary audience has already seen WICKED on stage. Even the track listing for the opening number gives away a pretty major spoiler by listing Jeff Goldblum’s name. I feel like the Broadway production did a really good job at keeping all of the twists a secret. But hey, maybe this means we’ll finally get a recorded version of “The Wicked Witch of the East,” if that number hasn’t been cut.
