Wicked Witch of the East (Song)

''NOTE: You may be looking for the character called the wicked witch of the east. If so, see Nessarose.''

'Wicked witch of the east' Is the song Elphaba and Boq sing with Nessarose Thropp. It is the second song in Act 2, but was removed from the soundtrack and can only be heard if you see the play.

Plot
It is sung when Elphaba comes to see Nessarose and her father, when she later finds out the father is dead. Nessarose, is mad, since Elphaba tries to save all the animals, but never tired to help her. Elphaba, feels bad, and puts a spell on Nessarose's shoes, so that she can walk, Nessarose, says that her shoes feel like there on fire. She then tries to walk, she thinks that, if Boq sees that he can walk he will want to date her. She calls him in, when he comes, he sees that she can walk, he thinks that, now that she can walk, she won't mind leaving to see Glinda. He tells her this, and she gets mad. She tries to find a spell that will make him 'Lose his heart to her', a spell that will make him love her. But, she, unlike Elphaba, can't say the words to the spell right. Elphaba tells her, but she does not stop, thinking it will work. By mistake, she Boq start to lose his heart. She tells Elphaba to save him. Elphaba says that, one a spell has been done, it can't be undone. (As when she made the monkeys fly, she wanted to take the spell back since it hurt them, But Madame Morrible had said she could not take the spell back once it had been done.). She tries anyway to save Boq with another spell. She can, but it turns him into a tin man. So, he can live without a heart. She leaves. The song before this is Thank Goodness.

Lyrics.
NESSAROSE (spoken) Elphaba, shut up! First of all, I can't harbor a fugitive, I am an unelected official. And why should I help you?
