Posted: 7/17/04 at 8:01pmI don't hear the woodwind reference at 1:06 in OSD, just a trill!

Posted: 7/17/04 at 8:18pmGuys.... I am REALLY sorry ahead of time if this has already been discussed, but does anyone know what the "M"'s on Boq's silver outfit stand for? Munchkin? McGuire? (that would be kind of cool)

Posted: 7/17/04 at 9:54pmSaw wicked again today, adn listened to the CD. One short day at 1:06 is not from Merry Old Land of Oz, similar but it is just the woodwinds. Also the part that was likened to Miss Gulch's bicycle is also similar, but its a different pattern, and is a 3 note pattern as opposed to 4 in the movie. Close though, and it kept me interested.

Posted: 7/19/04 at 1:47amI am really exciting about all of these references to the movie Wizard of Oz! I got turned on to Wicked because I am a Judy Garland freak and anything that has even a little bit to do with her I go nuts over. Keep the fun things coming!
