He is a scholarly person at Shiz University , and while he terminate up in a relationship with Elphaba ’s babe , Nessarose ( Marissa Bode),it is Glinda ( Ariana Grande ) that Boq is truly interested in .

Much of Boq ’s story revolve around his unreciprocated notion for Glinda and his rancor toward Nessarose , which he continue to find even after calibrate from Shiz . This culminates in Nessarose ramble a mispronounced spell that shrinks Boq ’s kernel .

While the overall story of the musical will stay the same , change like this will add further depth to theWickedmovies , and add more depth to Boq , Nessarose , and their relationship .
