Announcement: I am going to make pancakes for DebetEsse and me this morning.
Analysis: I am teh awesome.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There isn't a synopsis, but from reading the words, I can only gather that they've changed the book a LOT.
Yeah. I thought that what they did with it made it work as a musical in a way that trying to follow the book exactly wouldn't have, but there were a ton of things changed. (The one thing that I did wish they'd kept in was the clock at the beginning , though I think that they had it in some earlier version, because it kept showing up as a theme, in the sets and some of the lines, but it wasn't there to make the theme make as much sense as it could have.)

All is well that ends in pizza.

Yep- I think that following it exactly would have made for a very long and clunky musical. But what I'm wondering is if Elphaba dies, because I don't see anyone cast as Dorothy, and I don't see how that scene could be possible without her .
Maybe she just doesn't sing?

Lilty: Dorothy is refered to, but only appears on stage as a shadow.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Ah. That's actually kind of cool. I think I'm going to just enjoy it for what it is, rather than as an adaptation of the book- my favorite part of the book is the forgiveness/atonement theme, which doesn't look like it's so much the focus of the show.
But I heard Defying Gravity and it rules. Off to listen to the rest in the car. I've been summoned to Mom's house. She's got me a surprise. I can only imagine...

Hmmmm...interesting. I was wondering that too, Lilty. Thanks for answering, Hil.
I get to go see Wicked in March. I'm SO excited. We don't have great seats, but it should be fun anyway. I just hope Emily doesn't have to strangle me because I keep trying to sing along!

I'm not having pancakes with anybody. t pouting with Lilty I am, however, having hash browns with sausage. And I've got coffee and my internet peeps. Life is good.

Oh, and Daniel, I'd consider buying that dog BBQ sauce. Toto will sometimes go a couple of days without eating. If that would help him eat, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
