If Ann Coulter had a button to press that would instantly kill all the homosexuals from the face of the earth, I bet she wouldn’t hesitate to do it. Okay, maybe that was too harsh. Maybe she’d do what every compassionate conservative would do: she’d consider just where and when to hold the press conference first. Theeen, she’d press the button.
I think that for the ultra-right wing conservatives, gays are not human. We’re just deviant animals, not worthy of living, let alone in fabulously furnished high-rises with a sunset view. Sometimes I think that if we had the Holocaust all over again, the URWCs wouldn’t find it too hard to herd the gays into the gas chambers — all they have to do is stage a musical in it and we’d all line up and buy tickets.
(But seriously, if these URWCs want to do this homo-slaughter properly, they should disguise the gas chamber as a Prada store with a clearance sale of unbelievable magnitude. The sale has to be to-die-for, or else don’t bother thinking that gays are going to die. Sure, maybe a few heteros, some metrosexuals will get caught in the carnage, but that’s just the price of morality isn’t it?)
I mean, take my best friend Joe. He didn’t find it hard at all to get group discount tickets to Wicked. He needed 20 people. He got 35 without even trying. All he had to do was go to that gayest of gay places: the gym.
There were more muscled gym bunnies there than at a gay Easter parade. It was funny to see the flurry of excitement as gays hopped over barbells, skipped past the pec deck, and jumped over the hairy, sweaty fat mound doing sit-ups to get discount tickets. And twenty minutes later, Joe was done.

I read the book but haven't seen the musical. In fact, having read the book, I can't even imagine it as a musical.
But it sounds like maybe the play sugarcoats the story in the first two acts. In the book, darkness and foreboding permeate the entire story. And some parts are just fucking weird.
Is the character of Elphaba in the play as sardonic as she is in the book?
4 - No Milk
I haven't read the book, but Elphaba is played with much mettle and can-do attitude, as is the norm in musicals. So, she's not morose or dark. I think that the musical probably takes the elements of the book and transforms it into a typical musical format, lending itself to song.
I wouldn't say the musical itself is terribly original, it's the same story as The Little Mermaid or Beauty and The Beast. But it was very entertaining.

She definitely has mettle in the book. She's extremely smart and a little paranoid. But she's also an outcast for most of the book, so that plays in to her character as well.

Well thought out piece! I enjoyed!
So do you think if we really knew Anne Coulter she would cease to be a one-dimensional bitch?
7 - No Milk
I don't care if Ann Coulter stays one-dimensional forever. I think she has the personality of a pancake.

Thank God for Homos, without them there wouldn't be any musical theatre.

For all Ann Coulter fans: just thought this would be appropriate and fun.
