Wicked (theatre)/WMG: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

== Schwartz wrote this play for no reason but to make something that [[Subverted Trope|plays havoc with our expectations]]. ==

Every time Wicked is mentioned in something, it's always, "You'd think that X song would apply here, but it doesn't because of this"; and then everything falls into [[Thread Mode|interesting debates]] about [[Contemplate Our Navels|the philosophy of good and evil]]. About the only song that's avoided this is "[[I Want Song|The Wizard and I]]," but Schwartz [[All There in the Manual|has stated in ''The Grimmerie'']] that it's there because there's always a song like that as the second or third song.

== Pure water ''will'' melt her. ==

Elphaba in the musical, naturally. However, there is no pure water in Oz. All the water has fluoride in it. Even the rain. Why? Oz is magical.

** Rain isn't necessarily pure water - if Oz is sufficiently smoggy, she would be immune to rain, as well, since it now is acid rain. ''[[Villain Protagonist|Elphaba]] [[Who Wants to Live Forever|can't]] [[Living Forever Is Awesome|die.]]''
