Wicked Irony

[Xx-Kenickie-xX]

"Yeah, Vally V-A-L-L-Y"
"No! V-A-L-L-I!"
"How Come?"

Here's how everything works with the Wizard of Oz and Wicked
MUSICAL= DOESN'T FIT
BOOK=FITS

"Because, you're Italian.
LogatO, CassalucciO, pizzA,
Valli with an I."

 

[Xx-Glinda the Good-xX]

Why is it wrong to murmur "I adore him."
When it's shamefully obvious I do?
Does love embarass him?...

Exactly.

I used to hate how the musical didn't fit.
....I won't get into my views about it, for you all would hate me.

Or does it bore him?
I'm only waiting for my cue...
I'm a Stranger Here Myself!

The musical kinda fits. Most of it does, I think.  

[Xx-Glinda the Good-xX]

Well....kinda.

The Tinman thing really upsets me though.

Or does it bore him?

they couldnt make it like the book because then it wouldn't have been a "New Musical" so they had to change it to make it popular so it would do good and people would o see it

Another one
and the tinman is Boq who hurt Nessa so elphaba punished him so now he dosnt have a heart...

actually, Elphaba didn't punish Boq for hurting Nessa. Nessa put a bad spell on Boq and his heart shrank until it was gone, so Elphaba turned him into the tinman so that he wouldn't die.

it would still be a "new musical" it would just be a "new musical" base off of an older book. They changed it to something they thought would make more money. That's their job. To create something that brings in as much profit as possible.  

[kandyluveer]

both good points but........

Fiyaro also says "maybe I'm brainless" in As Long As You're Mine

Yes! See, those Musical creators, so very clever aren't they? domokun  

[kandyluveer]

So if you care to find me,
look to the Western sky...

Course, there's also the fact that if they were basing it off of the book, then they would have to change a lot of it anyway, just so that kids could get in to see it... redface lol

Plus, they had to make it happier. If you think about it, the book really has a dark feeling to it. Ya know? You can feel through the whole book that something is wrong.

As someone told me lately,
everyone deserves a chance to fly

 

[kandyluveer]

Ya, and it just would be too long of a Musical if they did the whole book, obivously there are some parts of the book they cant do, in any fashion or form but also, sometimes it just kinda goes on and it would get kind boring after a while, because you couldnt make songs for some of those scenes...

What i think is ironic is in dancing through life, when Fiyero says, "Life's more painless, for the brainless." So when he's a scarecrow, he has no brain.  

[kandyluveer]

hey!
i was just thinking that...
lol
but it is a good point
