Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

*Pedantic* Weren't Shogun and especially Here Where I Belong much more based on the novels? Or did they give the screenplay credit as well?

Posted: 4/19/13 at 10:03pmJust because a show runs a long time and gets awards doesn't mean it's good. Have you ever seen PHANTOM OF THE OPERA?

Posted: 4/19/13 at 10:11pmSome definition of "flops" seem pretty narrow. E.g. 9 to 5 ran 5 months, that may not be a smash but not a flop either?

Posted: 4/19/13 at 10:13pmIt's not narrow, it either made its investment back or not. If you know a tiny bit about business...
