Okay sooo
Apparantly yes, he has the permission but does not quite own the rights yet. I don't know how these things work out so you might as well not even ask me. lol
As for the story line..he's trying to make it so that it's a bit of both. He wants to use the novel without the violence and sexuality. He says he definately wants Boq character as a bigger character, like in the novel. He's in the process of getting these rights as well. Again, I don't know how any of it works.
As for the score, the only part of the musical he's asking to be able to use is Defying Gravity, and even then he's changed some words. I don't know how to describe it, I know it sounds as though it wouldn't work, but trust me it does.
He has the clips downloaded onto the computer but would rather I give you all the link when he has all the rights he needs. He's not finished yet either, only a few songs.
I just wanted to throw out the idea of an opera of Wicked.
"It's a great feeling of power to be naked in front of people. We're happy to watch actual incredible graphic violence and gore, but as soon as somebody's naked it seems like the public goes a bit bananas about the whole thing."

So, let me get this right...
Your friend is asking Schwartz to "borrow" part of a song from his big fat hit show to use in his own opera?
Riiiiiigghht.
