Ok, I have not seen the play yet (April 8th!)... although, I have seen clips and I have read the Grimmerie numerous times (not to mention the 24/7 play of the CD). But I'm curious... does anyone have any funny Wicked quotes? My friend told me this one: Glinda: You're still riding that old thing? Any others? I'm just curious... As that above one made me laugh!

There are quite a few, and I will post back and let you know, but I don't think I wuld have enjoyed them quite as much had I heard about them beforehand. Are you sure you want to hear them?  IP: Logged |

That is one of my favorite quotes from the musical!! If you don't mind me correcting you just a tad, the line is "Well we can't all come and go by bubble!!". It's one of my favorite lines in the whole musical! I could give you tons of other quotes that I think are hilarious... but I agree with OvertheMoonforIM... they are so much funnier when you don't know what's coming! IP: Logged |

Ah best one ever was the yellow brick road one: "Yes dear, just follow that one road the whole time.. oh I hope she doesn't get lost I'm just terrible at giving to directions!" "Oh give the girl her shoes back Elphie, and that dog - dodo?" "LET THE GREEN GIRL GO!" (I'm a jew that line cracked me up..) "sir, theres a goat on the lamb." (god that took me a day to understand it but it is so funny.) "so you lied to them?" IP: Logged |

What does being a jew have to do w/ that line? I think the best lines are the political ones: "I can't harbor a fugitive, I'm an unelected official!"-Nessarose "Well... a regime change. Caused by a bizarre and unexpected twister of fate."-Glinda And, altough not poliical.... "It's good to see me, isn't it? No need to answer, that was retorical."-Glinda IP: Logged |

"Elphaba, we used to believe everything that wasnt true, we call it history." Thats in wonderful i think i thought it was pretty funny (you guys took all of the other ones that i like! lol I like "let the green girl go" too along with the bubble one, glindas directions, and alot more! But the musical is pretty political like on the left wing side, which i like cause me being a democrat myself i thought it was funny... IP: Logged |

Galinda: It seems the artichoke is steamed *** Glinda: I know you don't want to hear this but someone has to say it! You are out of control! I mean they're just shoes...let it go! *** Elphaba: I clash with everything *** [Glinda slaps Elphaba] Elphaba: [cackles] Feel better? Glinda: Yes, I do! Elphaba: Good [slaps Glinda] so do I! *** Elphaba: Okay let's get this over with, no I'm not seasick, yes I've always been green, No I didn't eat grass as a child. *** Fiyero: You've been Galindafied! *** Galinda: Okay, stand... I will turn your frock into a beautiful ball gown! Stand up...Ball gown!!! Ball GOWN!!! Is this thing on? Elphaba: Do you want me to try? Galinda: No, I've got it! You know what? Just wear the frock-- it's pretty! >>Kristin's delivery is priceless! *** Elphaba: Stay here with me...I'm gonna miss you. Oz won't be the same without you! :: pause as they both try to stop crying:: Elphaba: You know what? Let's go to the Emerald city! Glinda: (through tears) Lets's go shopping! >>Kristin's final preformance when she starts crying just beore "One Short Day" too cute! *** Galinda: You're whole life is going to change and all because of me! Now..I wrote a book, "How to be Popular". Now I've put together a top ten list I hope will help you. Elphie, every day...shower. I mean who knows?! Maybe some of that green's gonna come off! Deoderant Elphie, nobody likes a stinky witch! I think we've covered the hair, we'll get to that. Clean underclothes...that's all I'm gonna say. Look at your posture! That's no way to be popular! Bed made, room straightened, we've done that. Colours blended. The most important thing to have to make yourself popular is to keep your beautiful smile. Elphaba: Thank you... >>SO CUTE!!! (an ad lib from Kristin in her last show...Idina was killing herself laughing, I have no idea how Kristin maintained a straight face!

quote: Okay, I don't want to sound rude, but, I think it was a big mistake to read the grimmerie and listen to the CD before you see the show. What made wicked so special for me was that it was fresh and new; if you see the show now, you'll know almost everything. Not to say that you shouldn't like Wicked or listen to the CD, but, maybe it would have been better to see the show first. Just a a thought. IP: Logged |

quote: Nay, you're not rude @ all! Well, see, I most likely wouldn't have gotten into Wicked if I hadn't heard the CD @ my best friends house. She had it on and I asked her, "What is this? It's really good." And she told me, and the second I Got home I downloaded it off of iTunes. If I hadn't heard it, I wouldn't have gotten into it @ all. Then, my friend Mike started to show me clips of all the different Elphaba's and such, then he got me the Grimmerie for Christmas and I read it. He had already spoiled it for me by telling me the plot and stuff. But that's how I get into plays, it's how I got into "42nd Street" and "Rent" and "Chicago." But I'm such a ding-dong sometimes, I'll go see it and be utterly surprised... I'm just odd like that IP: Logged |

I read the book and heard the music before I saw the show for the first time. I didn't know the ending or how certain plot lines came about. It was still great. Yet, I wouldn't have wanted to know the whole script or quotes. IP: Logged |

I know the show, pretty much, backwards and frontwards. And I have never seen it, and even though I know the show so well... I didn't ruin it for myself.... and I KNOW that. the experience of seeing the show... will be amazing... an experience like I've never had before.

i have seen it and seeing it on the internet first did not kill the show for me. lostladyknight is right the stage experience is so much different. it's like you're there. i also know the whole thing forewards and back. sometimes i'll break into song in class or i'll start ttelling people how the book is different from the play. they'll be like "i don't care" and i'll get really mad though.... LoL i guess IP: Logged |

Okay, I don't mind that the post is digressing, but I have a relevant on-topic point that's been bugging me. In San Francisco, there was some great dialogue during "One Short Day" that is no longer in the show. Elphaba: I want to remember this moment... always. Because someday, when we live here, we'll have moments like this all the time. These lines were great. Kristen and Idina delivered them with perfect comic timing. Anyone want to venture as to why they were cut?! IP: Logged |

Well in Chicago Cast. Elphaba walks off for a moment to say: "I want to remeber this moment always, no one is staring, no one is laughing..." "Elphaba come on. we'll be late for wizomania!" (Why did they take it out? the Sanfran thing I mean.) IP: Logged |

Why would they cut those lines? They're brilliant lines! And they add to their bonding friendship as well, no? Also, I know the story backwards and forwards, but not the entire play... I know the differences between the play and the book... Anywho, I'm sorta excited about the Wizards Head... I hear it's brilliant... along w/ the flying scene. Oh, what about "Popular"? Aren't there some funny ones in there? (I've seen the clip on google... but I hear that sometimes there's an extra line or two dropped?) You guys are SO lucky that you have seen the play! *packs bags* Forget Philly, I'm moving to New York! IP: Logged |

lines were cut because the sanfransico run was just a prelude to the newyork run. Many things were changed around after that first initial performance. Just tweaked for the better (perhaps). Most big (new) productions don't just open up on broadway. They are given ''test drives'' in lesser, yet still reputable theathers. IP: Logged |

I like the line where Elphaba and Galinda are talking and Galinda is like "Fiyero and I are going to be married." "He's asked you already?" "He doesn't know yet." That line always makes me laugh. IP: Logged |
