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 her twice...she was only in the show for 3 1/2 months. Oddly enough, she was quite good. She gave a straightforward performance without any ad-lib's. Richard Deacon from "The Dick Van Dyke Show" was her Horace and they worked well together. They were both well-reviewed but played to lots of empty seats.
Hello, Dolly! was my first Broadway show. I saw it a number of times during its original run (and on tour) and all of the original Broadway Dollys except for Phyllis Diller (I saw Channing and Ginger Rogers during their touring performances).
When I heard that the show was closing, I made one last pilgrimage to NYC to see the show (Merman) in early December of 1970. I chatted with the stage door man that day and was telling him about seeing all of the Broadway Dollys except for Phyllis Diller. His comment, "You didn't miss much."

@ Stage Door Sally - thanks for the site. That was fun. I have to say I would have loved to see Eve Arden in Dolly, as well as, Shirley Booth. So many different types have played her!
I wish I could see this production, but stuck on the West Coast. I hope they get someone fun to do the tour. (I'm sure with the success, a tour is inevitable - fingers crossed.)

She seems completely miscast to me. Wrong style of comedy.
Right? I love her, and Dolly! is obviously a vehicle for a variety of women, but I don't see her in this.
I came to New York just a bit too late to see the original production but I knew several people who saw Diller. They all said she played the part straight, as written, and was excellent.
