Wicked Witch of the East song in Wicked — Page 2

I was a little surprised actually to see that Nessa and Boq had so little involvement in the cast recording and the show istelf since their characters are both the equivalent of Fiyero's etc in the book. I know they had to edit it for the stage but they could have at least balanced it out more. Now Nessa and Boq are just little side notes and they dont give them any chance at all to show their talents. I'm sorry that just kind of pissed me off because I really liked those characters and Fiyero's role in the book was only slightly larger but in the show he has 2 big songs and tons of stage time.

Umm, melissa errico fan, Joey was in it from July-January. I think anything more than 5 months is certainley not "not very long"

Yea apparently Nobert had blue diamonds in San Fran but they looked like brusies. Maybe everyone thought Kristen was beating him up.


They could have edited WWotE to include the singing parts and some dislogue but not enough to give away major plot points. It could have been done to save anyone from knowing that Nessa walks, Boq turns into the tinman and his heart was shrinking, also how Nessa blames Elphaba when Boq freaks out

If you think about it, all the songs on the OBCR are kind of spoilers. I really wish they had put in WWotE because for those of us who havent seen the show, it would help us understand the whole plot a little more. It's like giving us a version of the show where they've hacked and chopped off different songs at random intervals so we have a very incomplete view of the show. The only reason I knew that Nessa walked and Boq was the tinman was because I found a script of the show online. Before that I was just confused.

see what I liekd about the book was that Boq's part was so BIG!
Musical he had a little part!

which is why they should so make a movie of the book and cast Chris as Boq again

Yeah I know its so hard to understand the whole show with cast recordings. You can hear all the songs etc but A.) they are professionally recorded as opposed to live and B.) other then the songs you are left wondering what is going on while they are singing it and in between. In short it sucks but its the best we can get. RENT was great because the whole show is in song, basically, so by listening to the recording you get it. That and there is detailed summary in the lyrics booklet. But again, since its pre-recorded and professionally touched up I assume it doesnt sound as good as it would live and onstage which sucks. That and I'd love to see the accompanying choreography.
