The Wicked Witch of the East<\/p>\n
Much like in the musical, Nessarose (Marissa Bode) is now the governor of Munchkinland following the death of her and Elphaba\u2019s father (Andy\u00a0Nyman), which Elphaba is aware of in the film, but learns from her sister in the musical. <\/p>\n
As such, she has made Boq (Ethan Slater) her servant because is still in love with him and hopes he will one day return her affections. In the movie, she tells Boq that he is free to leave and pursue Glinda\u2014whom he is still in love with\u2014although he quickly learns otherwise when he reaches the train station and finds out Munchkins now need a travel permit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He then returns to Nessarose before Elphaba appears to ask for her sister\u2019s help. In new lyrics added to \u201cThe Wicked Witch of the East,\u201d Nessarose reminisces about their past at Shiz as she blames Elphaba for her misfortune. In the musical, Elphaba enchants her sister\u2019s silver shoes which helps Nessarose get out of her wheelchair and begin walking. In the movie, however, Elphaba enchants the shoes to make Nessarose float, as she returns to her wheelchair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Wicked Witch of the East Much like in the musical, Nessarose (Marissa Bode) is now the governor…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304875,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":{"0":"post-304874","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-breaking-news","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-breakingnews","10":"tag-headlines","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-top-stories","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304874","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304874"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304874\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304875"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304874"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304874"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304874"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
