The Wicked Witch of the East

The Wicked Witch of the East is featured in Act II, Scene 2, of the musical Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz and is sung by Elphaba, Boq and Nessarose. Elphaba chants a spell to make her sister walk, and now Boq, feels it's the right time to leave Nessarose in order to express his love for Glinda. However, Nessarose does not take to kindly to the idea and chants a spell to make Boq lose his heart to her after he announces he lost his heart to Glinda. However, she pronnounces the words all wrong and makes Boq lose his heart almost completely. Nessarose, now in guilt, labels herself The Wicked Witch of the East, as Elphaba transforms Boq into the tin man and declares "he won't need [a heart] now". Sung by Michelle Federer, Chris Frizgerald, and Idina Menzel. The Wicked Witch of the East is the only song not to be feature on the original Broadway cast recording, as the producers felt the song included too much dialogue and would also give some of the plot away to people who have not seen the show.
