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?

I was thinking recently just how heavily Glinda’s actions impacted Nessa and ultimately lead to her demise. Glinda used Nessa’s disability to guilt Boq into asking Nessa to the dance. She saw her as a pitiful and vulnerable victim and sent Boq after her. This lead Nessa to become completely infatuated with Boq and believing he loved her. Even as Glinda grew warmer and became closer with Nessa she never revealed the truth. Nessa became so insecure that she evolved into the label of ‘Wicked Witch of the East’. Then, after Glinda discovers the truth of Elphaba and Fiyero, she uses Nessa as yet another tool to get revenge in suggesting a rumor about Nessa being in danger to lure Elphaba out of hiding. This of course indirectly leads to Nessa’s death. Throughout the musical Glinda only viewed her as a poor disabled girl that she took advantage of time and time again…ruining Nessa’s life. The treatment of Nessa is some of Glinda’s darkest moments.

In wicked, nessarose is obviously the favorite of the governor because she's not green, but she's in a wheelchair

If everyone's theory is right and Nessarose is actually the wicked witch of the east in the Wizard of Oz, or the one that died due to Dorothy's House falling,

why do we see the mayor / governor of munchkin who was wearing green sing the song and being happy that the witch (of the east) is dead? (the song in wizard of oz, not in wicked)

i am in love with this version of showing nessa actually get crushed by the house. icl i’m not a huge fan of the person symbolising the house being dropped but i cant get over the final scene with the glowing ruby slippers, definitely paying homage to the 1939 movie. that being said, i really hope they actually show nessa dying in wicked part 2 https://youtu.be/cnKflr_ssEY?feature=shared

i’ve been seeing people say glinda is THE real villain of the story but her sister was so useless. like girl your sister is being shamed and everything atleast help her OUT?…

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!

I didn't even think about this until just seeing that Marissa Bode has said they've changed a pivotal scene in Part 2. So now I'm like, of course they have! They literally couldn't do it how it's done on stage due to her being a legitimate wheelchair user.

But how do you think they will get around that? Marissa said about it focusing more on the magic or something but thats extremely vague (obviously to avoid saying more than allowed).
