Patti was brought in to do the Sydney season after Jennifer Murphy had to go on vocal rest.
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.

I saw Patti in Sydney--can't remember now how or why I knew about her but all I remember of her performance was her bow at the curtain call. It was a curtsy with one leg extended behind, bent from the waist and VERY low, head almost on her knee[can't remember where her arms went].
Don't know how she got back up again from that position but it was mighty impressive-especially as that is all I remember of that night.
