Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Yes -- music/lyrics by Schwartz (Godspell, Working), book by Winnie Holzman, based on the novel by Maguire. And of course, I got the reference wrong -- I've only listened once, in my defense, but I got it really backwards -- he's a she and there IS one bit about it -- in the 6th number, " Dancing Through Life " ....here's much of the scene, so I don't mislead anyone further: Galinda: SEE THAT TRAGIC'LY BEAUTIFUL GIRL THE ONE IN THE CHAIR IT SEEMS SO UNFAIR WE SHOULD GO ON A SPREE AND NOT SHE GEE -- I KNOW SOMEONE WOULD BE MY HERO IF THAT SOMEONE WERE TO GO INVITE HER... Boq: Well, maybe -- I could invite her! [. . . ] Boq: UH - NESSA I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO CONFESS, A REASON WHY, WELL -- WHY I ASKED YOU HERE TONIGHT NOW I KNOW IT ISN'T FAIR... Nessarose: Oh, Boq. I know why. Boq: You do? Nessarose: IT'S BECAUSE I'M IN THIS CHAIR AND YOU FELT SORRY FOR ME WELL -- ISN'T THAT RIGHT? Boq: No! No! It's because...because... BECAUSE YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL Nessarose: Oh, BOQ, I THINK YOU'RE WONDERFUL! AND WE DESERVE EACH OTHER DON't YOU SEE, THIS IS OUR CHANCE? WE DESERVE EACH OTHER DON't WE, BOQ? Boq: You know what? LET'S DANCE... Nessarose: What? BOQ: LET'S DANCE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
