On the Net: www "Where else can you build a dragon?" he asks He began by reading the Maguire novel, then drew a series of sketches to transfer Maguire's vision of Oz onto a stage Lee calls it an important storytelling moment and an audience favorite While Chenoweth considers Lee's scenery "just genius," she acknowledges the tricky set has given her "a couple of hard moments" in her role of Glinda " The gowns that Chenoweth wears in most scenes also have forced her to pay close attention as she scampers through narrow passages and stairways "She still needs the freedom to sing, so we didn't want to use a harness," said Pierce " The incident taught her a lesson: "You have to respect the set A backstage crew controls the cables that allow them to soar "Lots of smoke comes through these," says Lee backstage as he points to tiny slots cut into the false maple floor that serves as the platform for the show's big dance numbers One of Pierce's jobs was to use computer software to convert Lee's sketches into precise drawings for mechanics, carpenters, electricians and technicians who would build the scenery The movie was based on a series of novels by L There's no stopping those panels and towers Special Effects Dazzle in Musical 'Wicked' Jan 14, 2:58 PM EST A smoke-breathing dragon flaps its wings and cranks its head " While the computer cues are all choreography down to the beat of a musical note, some of the staging remains in the hands of humans, especially the flying elements, like the monkeys On one occasion, an automated light tower struck Chenoweth, knocking her out for a few moments Lee designed the big clock, based on "a kind of mad clock" from the Maguire novel, and defined his vision by creating a series of moving panels of gears and cog wheels that became the central image for the set Lee, 64, his white hair cropped short and his bow tie loosely knotted, smiles often when he talks about this project He assembled a scale model which he presented to director Joe Mantello, book writer Winnie Holzman, composer Stephen Schwartz, the producers, and ultimately, the full company â€â€?
