Frex (Frexspar Thropp) is father to Elphaba, Nessarose and Shell in the Gregory Maguire novel, Wicked and the subsequent musical of the same name, although Shell is not featured in the musical.
Life
In The Book
In the Frexspar lived in Rush Margins as the Unionist Minister. He lived with his Wife Melena, and later two daughters Nessarose and Elphaba. He tries to keep his 'flock' from following the Time Dragon, and after being physically beaten and failing to stop them, he took the life as a hermit.
In the musical
In the musical Frex (credited simply as 'Witch's Father') is the 'father' of Elphaba. He is the real father of Nessarose, whom he adores more over Elphaba. Elphaba is told in Act II, Scene II of the musical that Frex had died of shame, once he learned how she disgraced him. Elphaba replies, "Good...i'm glad". Nessarose argues "that's a Wicked thing to say!"
In the original Broadway cast, the Witch's Father was played by Sean McCourt, and in the original London cast by Andy Mace. Other actors to portray Frex include Don Richard, Tim Talman, David Stoller and Michael DeVries.
