Ethan Slater
American actor and singer
So we all know Boq’s actions in Act 1 of the musical leads to him being turned into the Tin Man in Act 2, but what I find frustrating is that after his transformation (post Wicked Witch of the East) he essentially ceases to exist in the remainder of the show. We know through the Wizard of Oz that he travels with Dorothy, meets the wizard, finds out he’s a fraud and gets a ticking clock but after that he has no character resolution. No confrontation with Glinda, no apologies for his actions, nothing. I could see if his arc was about self love and by the end he doesn’t need Glinda just himself, but the musical doesn’t set that up to be an issue with him. He kind of just falls flat and disappeared. Anyone else feel like this?
