r/wicked on Reddit: Nessarose’s Death
July 20, 2024 -
I’ve read in a few areas that Madame Morrible had involuntarily killed Nessa through the creation of the cyclone. Is it implied somewhere that the house falling in Munchkin land would just cause Elphaba to go and check on Nessa? Or was the intent to kill her in order to lure Elphaba out of hiding? My interpretation from the musical was her intent was murder. Thoughts?

well morrible and the wizard were trying to figure out a way to capture elphaba and that’s when glinda said ‘user her sister. spread a rumour.’ but morrible knew that a rumour wouldn’t do it because elphie is too clever so i think she did intend on killing nessa but to get elphie out of hiding too

Hard to say if Morrible’s powers include launching a whole house to the exact coordinates of a person, but I think that can’t be a coincidence that they were plotting to do something to Nessa and they immediately dropped a house on her.

Nessarose in Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West Character Analysis | Shmoop
In the lore of Oz, Nessarose hasn't always had an actual name (like her older sister). She's the Wicked Witch of the East, and she's a pair of legs under a house wearing some snazzy shoes. Like her sister, we only have a few physical features, an interesting death (who else can boast of dying from having a house fall on them?), and a derisive name to go on.

Elphaba leaves her, but later regrets it after Nessarose dies. She wonders if she could have saved Nessarose if she had stayed. Nessarose's death, caused by Dorothy's falling house, led to many funny sayings among the people of Oz. In the musical version of Wicked, Nessarose is quite different.

December 5, 2024 -
i haven't seen the musical but im a big fan of the wicked movie as well as wizard of oz and oz the great and powerful. hopefully someone on here can answer my questions about her!
firstly, does nessarose ever wear her classic witch outfit from the tornado scene in wizard of oz? im hoping for the movie, she wears a pointed hat and a red themed outfit as thats how she was described! i really want to see her outfit in color since we briefly see the wicked witch of the east in black and white before she is killed off. however, i havent found any pictures of her in the musical wearing anything like that, even though she is supposed to die wearing a witch outfit, a pointed hat, and riding a broomstick. (also, how does she get her own broomstick? did elphaba make her one or something?)
im hoping she isnt killed off as just the "governess of the munchkins" or whatever she's supposed to be, and instead as the wicked witch herself. i think for nessarose it makes more sense for her to be actually evil and she should be killed as a wicked witch and not some innocent governess. has she turned evil by the point she dies in the musical?
also, im curious about how they will get her to be able to stand if they actually cast a disabled actress to play her? they better keep the fact that she is able to stand since the wicked witch of the east is able to pedal on a bike (so she can stand as well). i don't really care about the "fixing disabilities" part since for some reason, the wicked musical writers decided to make a non-disabled character disabled, which makes a plot hole for the wizard of oz movie.
if anyone has any answers, please let me know! im curious about how the wicked witch of the east will turn out for wicked part 2!

You're confusing Mrs. Gulch, the real-world counterpart of the Wicked Witch of the West, with the Wicked Witch of the East. We never see TWWoTE in full in the original WoO, just her legs. Her character does take a turn, but I won't spoil the specifics unless you really want spoilers. She is also disabled in the original Wicked musical, it is a plot point that will make sense in act two, though they may do it different for the movie.

November 27, 2024 - As her reign becomes overbearing, the Munchkins dub her the Wicked Witch of the East as a form of protest over her ruthless ways. Her story in Act 2 sees her running Munchkinland and crossing paths with her sister again. Nessarose guilts Elphaca into putting a spell on her simmering silver slippers, turning them from gray to a bright ruby red and allowing her to overcome her disability.

3 weeks ago - When Dorothy and her friends arrive at Kiamo Ko, she tells Elphaba that while the Wizard sent her with orders to "kill the Wicked Witch of the West," Dorothy came to apologize for inadvertently killing Nessarose. Furious that Dorothy is asking for the forgiveness she herself has been denied, Elphaba waves her burning broom in the air and inadvertently sets her skirt on fire.
