Wicked
All : Good news!
She`s dead!
The witch of the west is dead!
Someone in the crowd: Look! It`s Glinda!
Glinda :It`s good to see me, isn`t it?
Fanatics: Yes!
Glinda: Fellow Ozians— Let us be glad, let us be grateful, let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue the wicked workings of you-know-who
Someone in the crowd: Glinda! Exactly how dead is she?
Glinda: According to the Time Dragon Clock, The Melting occurred at the thirteenth hour, the direct result of a bucket of water thrown by a female child. Yes, the Wicked Witch of the West is dead.
Song:
No one mourns the wicked
No one cries they won`t return
No one lays a lily on their grave
The good man scorns the wicked!
Through their lives our children learn
What we miss when we misbehave?
Glinda: And like every family—they had their secrets.
But from the moment she was born she was? well, different.
Witch`s mother :I see a nose!
Witch`s father: I see a curl!
Witch`s mother: Ohhhhh!
Witch`s father: Sweet Oz!
Witch`s mother: How can it be?
Witch`s father: What does that mean? Like a froggy, ferny cabbage, the baby is unnaturally-
All: Green!!
Witch`s father: Take it away. Take it away?!
Glinda: So you see—it couldn`t have been easy!
Someone in the crowd: Glinda! Is it true—you were her friend?!
Glinda: Uhm? Well, I? I? Yes. Well, it depends on what you mean by ?friend?. school? and we were both very young?
Scene 2
Elphaba: What? What are you all looking at? Oh—do I have something in my teeth? Alright, fine—we might as well get this over with: No, I`m not seasick; yes, I`ve always been green; no, I didn`t eat grass as a child?
Witch`s father: Elphaba!
Elphaba: This is my younger sister, Nessarose! As you can see she`s a perfectly normal colour!
Witch`s father: Elphaba! Stop making a spectacle of yourself.
Remember, I`m only sending you to this school for one reason.
Elphaba: I know: to look after Nessa.
Witch`s father: My precious little girl: a parting gift.
Nessarose: Father? Jewelled Shoes?!
Witch`s father: Elphaba, take care of your sister. And try not to talk so much.
Morrible: Welcome! Welcome, new students! I am Madame Morrible, head mistress here at Shiz University. Oh, you must be the Governor?s daughter! Miss Nessarose, isn`t it? What a tragically beautiful face you have! And who is—
Elphaba: I`m the other daughter, Elphaba. I`m beautifully tragic.
Morrible: I see, well I`m sure you`re very bright!
Glinda: Bright?! She`s phosphorescent!
Morrible: Now, regarding room assignments. Attention! Which of you young ladies will volunteer to share with Miss Elphaba?
Glinda: Madame Morrible—
Morrible: Oh, thank you dear! That is very good of you!
Glinda: What?
Morrible: Yes, now you see Miss Elphaba, you can room with Miss Galinda! To your rooms, young ladies!
Scene 3
Glinda: Dearest darlingest Momsie and Popsicle?
Elphaba: My dear Father!
Both: There`s been some confusion over rooming here at shiz
Elphaba: But of course, I`ll care for Nessa
Glinda: But of course, I`ll rise above it
Both: For I know that`s how you`d want me to respond
Yes, there`s been some confussion
For you see, my roommate is
Glinda: Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite
impossible to describe
Elphaba: Blond.
Song
Glinda: What is this feeling so sudden and new?
Elphaba: I felt the moment I laid eyes on you
Glinda: My pulse is rushing?
Elphaba: My head is reeling?
Glinda: My face is flushing?
Both: What is this feeling? Does it have a name? Yes!
Loathing
Unadulterated loathing
For your face
Your voice
Your clothing
Let`s just say - I loathe it all!
Every little trait, however small
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
With simple utter loathing
There`s a strange exhilaration
In such total detestation
It`s so pure! So strong!
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can laast
And I will be loathing, loathing you my whole life long!
Scene 4
Boq: Miss Galinda! I know I`m just a mere Munchkin. But even a Munchkin has feelings! And I have tried to tell you of mine for you but sometimes it`s like you don`t even know who I am.
Glinda: That`s not true, Bick.
Boq: Boq.
Glinda: That class just ended.
Fiyero: Perfect timing. So what does one do you fun around here?
Glinda: Nothing, until now.
Fiyero:
The trouble with school is
They always try to teach the wrong lesson
Believe me, I`ve been kicked out of enough of them to know
they want to become less callow
Less shallow
But I say: Why invite stress in?
Stop studying strife
And learn to live the unexamined life.
Song
Dancing through life
Skimming the surface
Gliding where turf is smooth
Life`s more painless
For the brainless
Why think too hard?
When it`s so soothing
Dancing through life
No need to tough it
When you can slough it off as I do
Nothing matters
But knowing nothing matters
It`s just life
So keep dancing through!
Scene 5
Glinda: Your very first party ever?
Elphaba: Do funerals count?
Glinda: You very first party! I know, let`s each tell the other something we`ve never told anyone! I`ll go first! Fiyero and I are going to be married!
Elphaba: He s asked you already?!
Glinda: No, he doesn`t know yet. Now you tell me a secret.
Elphaba: Like what?
Glinda: Like? like why do you sleep with this funny little green bottle underneath your pillow?
Elphaba: Give it back!
Glinda: Tell me!
Elphaba: It was my mother`s! That`s all.
Glinda: That`s not fair, I told you a really good one!
Elphaba: My father hates me. It`s my fault.
Glinda: What? What is?
Elphaba: You see, when our mother was carrying Nessa, my father began to worry that the new baby might come out?
Glinda and Elphaba: green?
Elphaba: He was so worried he made our mother chew milk flowers day and night
Glinda: But that was the milk flower`s fault, not yours. And Elphie—is it alright if I call you Elphie?
Glinda: I`ve decided to make you my new project.
Elphaba: You really don`t have to do that.
Glinda: I know. That`s what make me so nice!
Pink goes good with green. Why, Miss Elphaba—look at you. You`re beautiful.
Song
Popular!
You`re gonna be popular!
I`ll teach you the proper ploys
When you talk to boys
Little ways to flirt and flounce
I`ll show you what shoes to wear
How to fix your hair
Everything that really counts to be popular!
I`ll help you be popular
You`ll hang with the right cohorts
You`ll be good at sports
Know the slang you`ve got to know
So let`s start
Cause you`ve got an awfully long way to go.
Scene 6
Morrible: Miss Elphaba! There you are!
Elphaba: Madame Morrible!
Morrible: Oh, I have thrillifying news! I`ve finally heard back from the Wizard, and my dear—he wishes to meet you!
Elphaba: He asked for me?! Personally?!
I don`t know what to say! Madame, how can I ever thank you?
Morrible: Careful my dear, you mustn`t get wet. Wait, I know.
Oh, didn`t I ever mention? Weather is my specialty. Oz speed, my dear.
Now you`re off to meet the wizard!
Song
One short day
In the Emerald city
One short day
Full of so much to do
Every way
That toy look in this city
There`s something exquisite
You`ll want to visit before the day`s through!
Glinda: The night-life! The hustle and bustle! It`s all so? ozmopolitan! Elphie, come on—we`ll be late for Wizomania!
Elphaba: I want to remember this moment. Always. Nobody`s staring. Nobody`s pointing. For the first time, I`m somewhere? where I belong.
Glinda: You look positively—emerald!
Scene 7
Oz : I am Oz!
Glinda: Elphie!
Oz : I am Oz, the great and terrible! Who are you and why do you seek me?!
Glinda:Say something!
Elphaba: I am Elphaba Thropp, Your Terribleness! And this is my best friend—
Oz: Oh, is that you Elphaba? I didn`t realize! : I hope I didn`t startle ya! It`s so hard to make out people`s faces when I`m back there. So, let`s see, which is which? Elphaba! A pleasure, Elphaba! And you must be?
Glinda: Glinda
Elphaba: I`m so happy to meet you.
Oz: Madame, the book!
Morrible: Right away, Your Ozness!
Glinda: Madame Morrible?!
Oz: I believe you`re acquainted with my new press secretary.
Elphaba: Press secretary?! But what would you like me to do?
Wizard: This is my monkey servant, Chistery
Morrible: So his Ozness was thinking perhaps a levitation spell.
Glinda: I don`t believe it. Is that? The Grimmerie!?
Elphaba: Ahben Tahkay?
Merciful Oz! Ahben Tahkay?
Oh, Chistery! What an experience you`re about to have! Ahben Atum Ahben
What is it? Is something wrong?
Morrible: It`s just the transition, dearie!
Elphaba: Chistery, are you alright?! Why can`t he answer me?!
Glinda: You did it! You actually did it!
Elphaba: He`s in pain! Quick, tell me how to reverse it!
Morrible: You can`t!
Elphaba: You planned all this?
Morrible: You benefit too!
Oz: The two of you
It`s time I raised you high
Yes!
The time had come for you
To have the chance to....
Elphaba: No!!!
