Answer: Stephen Schwartz

Stephen Schwartz also brought us "Godspell", "Pippin", "Children of Eden", "The Prince of Egypt", etc. Ben Elton´s leap into Musicals was the Queen-based "We Will Rock You", doing very nicely thank-you. Both Sondheim and Lloyd Webber have several smash hit shows to their names, far too numerous to list here.

Answer: The Gershwin

The Ambassador is known for it's long run of "Chicago". Bring your broomstick to The New Amsterdam in case Mary Poppins loses hers, and you could join "A Chorus Line" at The Schoenfeld. The Gershwin is located at 222 West 51st St. This theatre opened in 1972 with the Musical "Val Galactica". It also served as a concert venue for pop and jazz artists, and its lobby includes the Theatre Hall of Fame. "Wicked", as they say in the business, ´went up´ there in October 2003.

Answer: Stuttgart

There is huge interest in Musicals in Germany, with several dedicated theatres throughout the country.

In this number, Glinda and Elphaba tear lumps out of each other like there´s no tomorrow.

"Every little trait, however small....".

"Defying Gravity" is easily the most dramatic number in the score. Elphaba offers Glinda the chance to join her as together they would be unlimited. Glinda declines, but wishes Elphaba well. How good CAN one be?

Answer: Around eight

And off they go. Now that they´ve met each other, it´s clear they deserve each other. Oh; and each says the other is perfect. Probably for the best if you´re planning to dance through life!

Answer: kill her

In this, they are wished good fortune by the Vicious Woman, and this sentiment is echoed by the Crowd, the Rabid Man, and the Tin Man. The Lion, we are reminded, also has every reason to want wickedness to be punished.

Answer: Lily

Not only that, but the Wicked also cry alone, are scorned by good men, die alone, and no-one cries "they won´t return" etc etc. It´s not much to look forward to, is it? Now; pass me a bat sandwich and my big book of sorcery. HA HA HA HA HA!
