Wicked
She appears as Nessarose in the Original Broadway Cast recording of Wicked’s song Dancing Through Life.Nessarose is Elphaba, the “Wicked Witch of the West”‘s spoilt younger sister. In the novel, Elphaba is regarded as a tomboy second only to her extraordinarily lovely and stunning, but sensitively crippled younger sister, and she is frequently expected to prioritize Nessarose’s demands over her own.
During her reign over Munchkinland, she is branded “The Wicked Witch of the East” due to her one-sided commercial dealings, brutal methods, and overall use of sorcery to dominate her people. Nessarose meets her doom when Dorothy Gale’s farmhouse, carried by a Kansas cyclone, crashes into Oz and sadly crushes her to death. Allowing Dorothy to take possession of her magic shoes once more.
Nessarose, who has strong religious and devout beliefs and associates everything she sees with morals and religion, is frequently conceited and narrow-minded, which is consistent with Maguire’s general cynicism about religion in the book. Her father, the deeply religious Frexspar, is even concerned that she might be “too devout” due to the depth of her Unionist religious devotion.
