## Trivia

* The style of outfits for the characters is a mix of various different styles. Two main examples are Elphaba, Galinda and Nessarose's outfits. Elphaba's style is more of a Lolita style, while Galinda and Nessarose's are of a 50s style.
	+ It should be worth noting that in Act II, Nessarose's outfit becomes similar to Elphaba's, becoming more Gothic Lolita-esque.
	+ Madame Morrible's outfits were designed to keep the wacky vintage feel of the original costumes, yet having a look of both feminine and tomboy to fit Mel's style better.

* The main reason Elena was chosen to play Nessarose was because of her sprained ankle. Michelle later explains that Nessa being in the wheelchair for most of the production would allow Elena to rest and gain enough strength to later stand for a short period of time (her sprained ankle heals again sometime before the opening night).
* The idea for Elphaba's Act II dress to have leather scale-like accessories around the wrists, neck, waist, and going down the skirt came from a set of leather scale-patterned gauntlets seen by the author on Pinterest.
