Line 6:
* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: Part of why fans of the book are so nervous about a movie version of the musical being made is that it will further cement into peoples minds that ''this'' is the official Wicked story, and people will continue to forget about and ignore the books.
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Once you take in the [[Word of God]] that Glinda was in love with Elphaba, it puts quite a few scenes in a new light. Likewise with the books, but more so with the musical where everything is not nearly as explicit (yet probably more so in a way) and is more covered up.
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: More like Big Lipped Alligator ''Object.'' The Clock of the Time Dragon, which played an important role in the book, is completely cut from [[The Musical]] with the exception of its unexplained presence above the stage. All it does is look scary while audiences try to figure out what the hell it's supposed to be, then freak them out by coming to life at seemingly random intervals.
* [[Canon Defilement]]/[[Better Than Canon]]: Just like ''Wicked'' the book is to the original movie and Oz novels, so is this in turn to that book. Some [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|don't like it]] while others [[Pragmatic Adaptation|prefer the changes]].
* [[Ear Worm]]:
Line 33:
** "As Long As You're Mine", especially considering {{spoiler|what happens ''immediately after''.}}
** Pretty much ''everything'' in the finale qualifies: "For Good", {{spoiler|the melting scene}}, Chistery's first line, {{spoiler|the Wizard finding out he was Elphaba's father}}, and the ending.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uD1_InPOiA&list=FLGtrNv31XbV8KK3VhqGQShg&index=4&feature=plpp_video Kristin Chenoweth's last "For Good"] is even sadder than most -- shemost—she authentically breaks down. Her entire last performance basically consists of her voice breaking with every line.
* [[Wangst]]: "No Good Deed", for some.
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Elphaba. You wanted to give her a big hug by the end of the play. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
