Brian Altman, a fan of Stephen's stage and movie musicals, shared an insight based on his reading of the novel and his appreciation of Schwartz musicals like Pippin , Children of Eden , The Prince of Egypt, and Godspell. Each of their stories is so cleverly, compassionately, conveyed. There is nothing out of the ordinary in the characters or the way they speak. The wonderful thing is that they all seem real to us. Even GOD himself give or take a few miracles is seen as being just like us.

Elphaba is just a girl who happens to be green. Moses is a man who was mislead by his new parents Pippin is just trying to find his way Noah is a father, trying to keep his family together It's the simple passion with which the truths and decisions are relayed that make them so compelling and fascinating.
