: Now, I know my theory leaves out a lot of people who are crucial (including Bartleby, Loki, Serendipity, and, of course, GOD), but that's why I'm putting this out here; I'm trying to get input from everybody, and once in a while, revise what others have thrown in the ring, and occasionally repost revised version, until one of those in green...I mean, red, responds.:
Metatron, Azrael, Bartleby, and Loki = the 4 witches.
2 are good. And, by the end, Loki is, indeed, good. And the other two are evil. I think Azrael would be the first witch, while Bartleby is the Witch of the West. Think about it. He's all that stands between the completion of Bethany's quest (just as the wicked witch stood between Dorothy and Kansas).
God maybe represents "waking up." I dunno. May be weak, but it works for me.
Serendipity. Well. Maybe she represents...uh...well HELL. I dunno what she represents.
On another note, I attended a recent audition for the Wizard of Oz. Needless to say I got the only NON singing and NON dancing part in there (thank the Lord), I'm gonna find a way to work "Snoogans" into the script.
I suggest Dark Side of the Moon for pre-show music.
