Reading Over Wicked

On a fanfic note that I read they gave a link to a site that gave the entire script for Wicked.  I read it today and it left me feeling . . . sad.  The more I read and learn about that show, the more I know that it’s a play after my own heart.  I’d love to play Elphaba one day.  That would be incredible.

It got me depressed.  Thinking about the play and the things that are done to Elphaba, simply because she’s misunderstood.  Her own sister sells her out, claiming that it’s Elphie’s fault that Boq was turned to tin.  Yeah, Elphie did it, but she did it to save Boq’s life.  And she only had to do it because Nessa was selfish enough to try to make someone love her instead of setting him free.

Elphaba: You’re the only friend I’ve ever had.
Glinda: And I’ve had so many friends… but only one that mattered.
