Original subtitles

Because there has been so much rumor and speculation.

Let me tell you the whole story.

According to the time dragon clock,

the melting occurred at the 13th hour.

The direct result of a bucket of

water thrown by a female child.

Yes, the wicked witch of the west is dead! Good news! The witch! She's dead! (Good news! The Wicked Witch is Dead!) Good news! She's dead! The Witch of the West is dead The wickedest witch there ever was The enemy of all of us here in Oz Is dead! Good news! Good news!! Let us be glad,

Look, it's Glinda! Let us be grateful, Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue, The wicked workings of you-know-who

It's good to see me, isn't it?

Fellow Ozians, let me set the record straight.

Yes.

The wicked witch of the west is dead! Isn't it nice to know That good will conquer evil? The truth we all believe'll by and by Outlive a lie For you and - 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 And Goodness knows The wicked's lives are lonely Goodness knows The wicked die alone It just shows when you're wicked You're left only On your own (Yes, goodness knows) The wicked's lives are lonely Goodness knows The wicked cry alone Nothing grows for the wicked, they reap only What they've sown

Miss Glinda!

Why does wickedness happen?

That's a good question.

One many people find

confusifying, are people born wicked?

Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?

After all, the wicked witch had a childhood.

She had a father, who by the way, had

been appointed governor of Munchkinland.

I'm off to the assembly, dear.

And she had a mother, as so many do.

How I hate to go and leave you lonely.

That's all right, it's only just one night.

But know that you're here in my

heart, while I'm out of your sight.

Like every family, they have their secrets. Have another drink, my dark-eyed beauty I've got one more night left, here in town So have another drink of green elixir And we'll have ourselves a little mixer Have another little swallow, little lady And follow me down

And one thing led to another, as it so often does.

But from the moment the witch

was born, she was... well... different. It's coming! Now? The baby's coming! And how? I see a nose, I see a curl It's a healthy, perfect, lovely, little... Sweet Oz! Oh! How can it be? What does it mean? It's uncanny, It's obscene! Like a froggy, ferny cabbage... The baby is unnaturally... Green.

Take it away.

Take it away!

It's all right, little one.

Shh.

We'll look after you.

So her nanny, Dulcibear, raised her.

And as she grew, so did her challenges.

Dulcibear! Coming, Governor.

Little one, watch your baby sister.

Just a clock tick.

Oh, Nessarose, don't you worry.

I'm here.

Now, you wanna see something amazing?

Yeah.

This is all about our wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Do you know how we got here?

Nope.

From the sky, in a balloon.

See?

Then he built a city made of Emeralds,

'cause he loves emeralds, even though they're green.

And Nessa, you wanna know a secret?

If you get to meet him, he grants your heart's desire.

Elphaba Thropp

Green on top

Someone better tell her That everyone can smell her.

Where did you come from?

STOP.

Elphaba Thropp

What have you done this time?

OK, that's OK, come to Daddy.

Now you've made your sister cry.

Let's go get you a beautiful piece of cake.

It's all right, little one.

He shouldn't have blamed you.

Dulcibear!

And so, it couldn't have been easy. No one mourns the wicked! Now at last, she's dead and gone! Now at last, there's joy throughout the land And goodness knows (goodness knows) We know what goodness is (ah) Goodness knows The wicked die alone (she died alone) Woe to those (woe to those) Who spurn what goodness is They are shown No one mourns the wicked! (Good news!) No one mourns the wicked! (Good news!) No one mourns the wicked! Wicked Wicked!

Yes?

Well, this has been fun.

As you can imagine, I have

much to attend to with the wizard's

unexpected departure.

So if there are no further questions, I'm gonna go.

Glinda

Is it true you were her friend?

What?

Sorry, one sec.

What?

Is it true you were her friend?

Friend?

Yes. *audience gasps*

I mean, I did know her.

*audience in shock*

That is our paths did cross.

At school.

But you must understand, it was a long time ago.

Oh, we're so proud of you.

I love you.

Just remember, it's not goodbye.

It's farewell.

We love you.

Have all your things?

Yes.

And you will write?

Yes.

I love you.

It's that time.

Miss you already.

Popsicle, board the boat.

They are gonna miss me so much.

Boq: My parents don't even know I left.

I'm Boq.

I'm from Munchkinland.

I know we don't really know each other, yet.

You know I believe Bic?

It's Bic- It's Boq.

That strangers,

are just people I've never met.

Bye. O hallowed halls and vine-draped walls The proudliest sight there is (sight there is) When grey and sere our hair hath turned We shall still revere the lessons learned In our days at dear old Shiz (dear old Shiz) Our days at dear old Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ol' Dear old Shiz

*scream* Oh, my god.

What?

What are you staring at?

Do I have something in my teeth?

No, it's just...

You're green.

I am.

Fine.

Let's get this over with.

No, I am not seasick.

No, I did not eat grass as a child.

And yes, I've always been green.

Well, I for one, am so sorry that you

have been forced to live with this.

Is that so?

Yes.

And it is my intention to major in sorcery.

So if at some point, you wanted to address the- uh, problem...

Problem?

Perhaps I could help.

She's so good!

We love you!

All right.

Offering to help someone

that you don't know with skills

that you don't have.

I'm sure everyone is duly impressed.

I could care less what others think.

You couldn't.

What?

You couldn't care less what other people think.

Although I doubt that.

Elphaba!

Elphaba Thropp.

This is my younger sister, Nessarose.

As you can see, she's a perfectly acceptable color.

Stop making a spectacle of yourself.

I was trying to be nice.

You were so nice and good.

Did I do something bad? I must-

No!

How did that come across?

I don't see color, so-

My precious little girl.

Father.

A parting gift.

Mother's jeweled shoes.

So they can all see how beautiful you are

right down to your toes.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

I love them.

Let me put them with your boxes.

Of course.

I shouldn't have sprouted off like that.

No, you shouldn't have.

Nessa: Today is - Elphaba: The start of your new life.

New friends.

New books.

I'm excited for you.

I'll miss you.

No, you won't.

You'll be having too good a time.

(in unison) Don't help me. Don't help her.

She'll be fine.

All new Shiz students

Please, report to the B Hall.

We should head back.

Go with her.

What?

Just until she's safely

settled in her own room. Make sure she has

Everything she needs.

Father, she's on her own right now.

Just stop chattering.

Just do what I say.

If anything should happen to her...

-

-

Thank you for your contribution to our university.

And rounding out the rest of our faculty,

we have two scholars,

evident in their respective fields

of forestry and agriculture,

as well as Professor Monty of the Biological Arts

and, of course, the head of our

history department, Dr. Dillamond.

You know, except for our wonderful wizard,

true magic has become all too rare,

which is why we are privileged to have our esteemed

Dean of Sorcery Studies,

Madame Morrible.

Oh my goodness, it's really her. Ah!

Welcome, new students,

and congratulotions for having been accepted to Shiz.

Whether you'll be studying

law, logic, or linguification,

I know I speak for my fellow faculty members

when I say,

We have nothing but the highest hopes

for some of you.

And now, Miss Coddle, if you please,

I am Miss Coddle, Head Shiztress.

And these are your dormitory designations

and room assignments.

Good luck, and welcome to Shiz!

Madame Morrible, hi.

I am Galinda Upland, of the upper uplands.

If this is regarding room assignments-

Oh, thank you so much, but I've

already been assigned a private suite!

This is about my application to your sorcery seminar.

Perhaps you recall my essay,

"Magic Wands, Need They Have a Point?"

Well, dear, I don't teach my seminar every semester.

Of course, if someone very special were to come along.

Exactly. This is why I wanted to talk to you.

We'll be in touch!

There you are.

Miss Nessarose, isn't it?

The governor's daughter.

How tragically beautiful you are.

It is such an honor to...

I'm the other daughter. I'm beautifully tragic.

The other daughter?

Elphaba, what are you doing?

Well, uh- b-b-b I wasn't made aware-

I know. I was just...

Not a fret. Just a slight gulch.

We'll find some place to hide you.

I mean, how's you?

That won't be necessary. I'm not enrolled.

Oh, good.

Why are you still here?

I'm sorry, and as the father insisted...

Oh, the governor made his

concern for your sister quite apparent.

Please assure him I am honored to help her.

Well, she doesn't need your help.

Stop. I just need to find my room.

I'll bring you there myself.

Miss Coddle, I don't think you- Miss Coddle I promised my father that I will...

Stop, Miss Coddle.

She can do it alone!

Please, you don't understand.

Stop!

Let her go!

This was my chance. My new sun.

I'm sorry, Nessa. I just...

I didn't...

Magic is merely the mind's attempt

to wrap itself around the impossible.

Yes, that was me.

To prepare you to expect the unexpected here at Shiz.

Did you visually see that?

I simply must get into her seminar.

And speaking of the unexpected.

Which of you would volunteer to share a room?

Madame Morrible, um-

Thank you, dear. That is very good of you.

What?

Miss? Elphaba.

Elphaba.

You can room with Miss Galinda.

What? What? I...

Now, go. All of you, go.

Go?

And you.

Come with me.

Of course.

Not you.

You.

I would like to teach you privately

and take no other students.

Thank you, my sun.

What happened?

Something is very wrong.

I didn't get my way.

I need to lie down.

I need to lie down.

Get over here. Get over here.

We need a pastry! We need a pastry!

Thank you for covering for me.

And I'm humbled by your magnificent offer.

But my father would never allow it.

Leave your father to me.

I'll speak to him immediately.

So, how long have you had this talent?

I don't know.

No.

Something just...

Something just takes over me.

And something I can't control.

But when it does, bad things happen.

If you can learn to use your powers in the right way,

oh, Miss Elphaba,

many years I have waited for

a gift like yours to appear.

Why, I predict the wizard might

make you his magic grand-pazier.

The Wizard?

My dear, my dear, I'll write at once to the Wizard.

Tell him of you in advance.

With a talent like yours, dear, there is a definite chance.

If you work as you should,

you'll be making good.

Welcome to Shiz.

See you in class.

Did that really just happen?

Have I actually understood this weird

quirk I've tried to suppress or hide?

Is it talent that could help me

make the Wizard if I make good?

So I'll make good.

When I meet the Wizard, once I prove my worth,

then I meet the Wizard what

I've waited for since, well since birth.

And with all his Wizard Wisdom,

by my looks he won't be blinded.

Do you think the Wizard is dumb?

Or like Munchkins, so small-minded?

No! he'll say to me, "I see who you truly are.

A girl on whom I can rely."

And that's how we'll begin The Wizard and I.

Once I'm with the Wizard, my whole life will change.

Because once you're with the

Wizard, no one thinks you're strange.

No father is not proud of you.

No sister acts ashamed.

And all of Oz has to love you.

And by the Wizard you're acclaimed.

And this gift or this curse I have inside,

maybe last I'll know why as we work hand in hand

The Wizard and I.

And one day he'll say to me,

"Elphaba, a girl who is so superior.

Shouldn't a girl who's so good

inside have a matching exterior?

And since folks here to an absurd degree,

seem fixated on your

verdigris, would it be all right by you?

If I de-greenify you?" And though

of curse that's not important to me.

"All right, why not?"

I'll reply Oh, what a pair we'll be The Wizard and I.

Yes, what a pair we'll be the Wizard and...

Unlimited, my future is unlimited.

And I've just had a vision almost like a prophecy.

I know it sounds truly crazy and true-

The vision's hazy, but I swear someday

there'll be a celebration throughout Oz

And I'll want nothing else 'til I die Held in such high esteem.

When people see me they will scream,

for half of Oz's favorite team.

The Wizard and I.

Come in.

The rest of my bags should be arriving shortly.

Do you really think this is fair?

Oh, I do not. I was promised a private suite.

But thanks for asking.

Huh! Wait! Uh, what? What - I..

was just gonna close the door.

Oh, well, could you not? I'm

sorry. I just... I so enjoy air.

You know what I mean?

Oh, I saved you some space, by the way.

Here it is. Just in here.

It's great.

It was nothing.

Roommates do these things for

each other. So I've been told.

And in return, perhaps you could um, let's see,

put in a good word for me with Madame Morrible? Deal?

That was you down there who made

all that happen. I know it was.

You heard Madame Morrible.

How did you do it? Tell me, please. I can keep a secret.

Fine. Be that way. But it really

is rather selfish on your part.

You know, I asked really

nicely and I saved you this whole drawer!

I don't know! I never know!

There. Enjoy the air.

Dearest darling is Momsie and Popsicle,

My dear father, thank you for agreeing to let me stay here.

Guess what? In regards to our

request that I move in with Nessa

I can't hear your guesses because this is a letter.

I know how much she wants to be...

So I'll just tell you.

There's been some confusion over roaming here at Shiz.

But of course I'll care for Nessa.

But of course I'll rise above it.

For I know that's how you'd want me to respond.

Yes.

There's been some confusion for you, see my roommate is...

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and

altogether quite impossible to describe.

Blonde.

What is this feeling so sudden and new?

I felt the moment I laid eyes on you.

My pulse is rushing.

My head is reeling.

Yeah well, my face is flushing.

What is this feeling? Fervid as a flame

Does it have a name?

Yes.

Loathing. Unadulterated loathing.

For your face. Your voice.

For 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 last.

And I will be loathing, loathing you my whole life.

Dear Galinda, you are just too good.

How do you stand it? I don't think I could.

She's a terror, she's a tartar.

We don't mean to show a bias,

but Galinda, you're a martyr.

Well, these things are sent to try us

Oh.

Poor Galinda forced to reside,

with someone so disgusticified

We just want to tell you, we're all on your side.

We share your loathing

What is this feeling, so sudden and new?

I felt the moment I laid eyes on you.

My pulse is rushing My head is reeling

We loathe it all!

Oh, what is this feeling?

(Every little trait however small) Does it have a name? (Makes our very flesh begin to crawl)

Yes.

Oh, loathing, there's a strange

exhilaration in such total detestation.

It's so pure, it's so strong.

So strong.

Though I do admit it came on fast,

still, I do believe that

It can last

And I will be loathing

For forever.

Loathing truly, deeply Loathing you

My whole life long!

Loathing, Unadulterated loathing.

All right, all right, everyone, settle

down, ladies and gentlemen, settle down.

Quiet, quiet, everyone.

Now then, I have read your most recent essays,

and I am amazed to report some progress,

although some of us still tend to

favor form over content, Miss Glinda.

Oh, actually, it's "Guh-Linda," with a "Guh."

Yes, of course. Glinda.

No- um, I don't see what the problem is, you know, every other

professor manages to pronounceify my name.

Maybe the pronuncification of your precious name is not

the sole focus of Dr. Dillamond's life.

Maybe Dr. Dillamond is not like every other professor.

Maybe some of us are just different.

Well, it seems the artichoke is steamed.

Quiet, please, please.

Yes, we goats lack upper front teeth,

which accounts for the mispronunciation, Miss Glinda.

You see, indeed, some of us are different.

Now, you may have noticed that I am one of the last

animal professors here at Shiz,

and it isn't encouraged to discuss this in our classes,

but there have been some great changes throughout Oz

with the rejection of animal culture.

However, there was a time before you were born when

life in Oz was different.

When one could walk these halls and

hear a snow leopard solving an equation

or an antelope explicating a sonnet,

so when and why did this change?

From what I've read, the great drought.

Huh!

Excuse me.

Like raise your hand.

Precisely.

Food grew scarce, and when people are hungry and angry,

well, then they begin to look for...

Someone to blame.

Quite right, Miss Elphaba.

Yes, Miss Glinda.

It is "Guh-linda."

"Guh-linda."

"Guh-linda."

And I don't see why you can't just teach us history.

Instead of always harping on the past.

Because we cannot escape the past,

and we ignore it at our own peril.

The past helps explain our present circumstances.

For instance, if we examine this timeline...

Who is responsible for this?

I ask, who is responsible for this?

Very well.

Class dismissed.

I said, class dismissed!

Dr. Dillamond.

Miss Elphaba.

Miss Elphaba, you don't have to...

Thank you. You're very kind.

Not bad.

Poppies are my favorite.

Mine too.

They keep me cheerful in these dark times.

Miss Elphaba, please. Go and join your friends.

It's all right. I don't have any friends.

Well, maybe one.

Try again.

Eyes shut.

Toes clenched.

Now, levitate the coin.

It's all right.

It takes time.

I hear there was an unfortunate

disturbance in Dr. Dillamond's class today.

That must have been so distressful for you.

Well, someone wrote those

horrendible words on purpose, for him to see.

I just wish I could...

What? You wish what?

I wish there was something I

could do, because no one...

No one...

Dear, what?

No one should be scorned,

or laughed at,

or looked down upon, or...

told to stop jabbering,

and keep running.

Remarkable.

Absolutely remarkable.

Once you learn to harness your emotion,

the sky's the limit.

It could lead you to the wizard himself.

Goodbye, Dr. Dillamond.

Goodnight, Dr. Dillamond!

Did you find out who...

The animals are now being blamed

for everything that goes wrong,

forced from our jobs, told to keep silent.

This is much bigger than

just some words on a chalkboard.

We can still converse in private, Thank Oz.

A dear friend of mine.

A dear?

A cow, actually.

She's been speaking out at protests,

recently wrote me asking to meet at a cafe.

She said it was urgent.

What did she tell you?

She never showed, and no one's seen her since.

Many animals have gone

missing, or are actually leaving.

Yes, I have badger acquaintance,

a solicitor, was sacked just for arguing the case.

At least he can still argue.

What do you mean?

Let me show you.

I've heard of an ox, a professor from Quox,

no longer permitted to teach,

who has lost all powers of speech.

I can't speak.

And an owl in Munchkin Rock,

a vicar with a thriving flock forbidden to preach.

No, no.

Now he only can screech!

Only rumors, but still enough to give pause to anyone

With paws, something bad is happening in Oz.

Something bad is happening in...

That's it!

I'm leaving Oz, while I can

still speak the word goodbye.

No, you can't!

Take it away!

Stop.

Sorry.

No, no.

Someone's there...

What is it?

Miss Elphaba.

What are you doing here?

Well, I was just...

It's all right.

Quickly.

Come inside.

Don't be frightened.

Let me get you some tea.

Dr. Dillamond, what you were saying just now...

Could that really happen?

It is happening.

You'll find if you make it discouraging enough,

you can keep anyone silent.

But if animals are losing the ability to speak,

leaving Oz, then...

Someone's got to tell the wizard.

Listen to me.

You mustn't tell another soul

what you've heard in Xenia tonight.

But that's why we have a wizard.

So nothing bad...

Perhaps you're right.

Nothing all that bad...

Nothing truly bad...

Sorry.

Bad.

I must be catching a cold.

All's best to you, Dr. Dillamond.

You'd better go.

Take the map.

Whoa there!

Great!

Whoa!

I did not see her.

Yeah, neither did I.

You might want to, um...

Okay.

You know...

I'm so sorry, miss.

We didn't see you there.

You must have...

blended with the foliage.

Is this how you go through life?

Just running amok and trampling anyone in your path?

No.

No.

Sometimes I'm asleep.

All right.

Here we go.

No, I'm not seasick.

Neither am I.

No, I did not eat grass as a child.

Oh, you didn't? I did.

And yes, I have always been green.

And the defensiveness, is that a recent development?

I'm up for some more trampling.

May we offer you a ride?

No thanks.

Get stuffed.

Wow.

Felsville, we have just been spurred by a girl.

Indeed.

Guess there's a first time for everything.

Attention students.

It is my honor to announce that

Prince Fiyero Tigelaar of Winky Country

will be filling out our student body.

Having transferred from the Royal Winky Academy.

Please help him feel welcome.

Without making direct eye contact.

Enroll here often?

Fiyero: Could I ask you - Pfannee: Anything

Anything you want.

Just to move out the way.

Absolutely, yeah. That's anything.

How are you?

Yeah.

Hmm! Are you looking for something?

Or? Someone?

No, I was...

What was I doing?

How would I know?

Our first fight. Hm!

Oh, still here.

Mm-hmm.

Well, I promised to give a guided tour

to any recently arrived students, so...

Mm.

Wait.

Are you a recently arrived student?

I am, yeah.

Oh, I didn't know.

No, I'm not sure I'll last longer at

this school than any of the others.

But...

I wasn't at any of your other schools.

Hmm.

And this is the, uh, the book place.

There's a collection of, um, rare

books around here somewhere.

And some medium rare as well.

Well, there's so many to choose from.

Right.

So what do you do for fun around here?

Oh, well, nothing.

Until now.

You ever been to the Oz Dust Ballroom?

Oz Dust Ballroom?

I mean, isn't that place somewhat illegal?

And scandalocious?

Yeah, it is both of those things, yeah.

Hmm?

It's also not too far from here.

Is there another place?

Whoa!

You all right?

Yeah.

I'm Fiyero Tigelaar.

Winky Country.

Oh, Oz.

I'm Boq Woodsman.

Of Munchkinland.

Great.

Excuse me.

Good to know.

What were you saying again?

About The Oz Dust, and fun, and-

Unfortunately, it's against Shiz

rules to go into town after dark.

I think that once again that the

responsibility to corrupt my fellow students

falls to me.

Excuse me.

The trouble with the schools is, they

always try to teach the wrong lesson. Believe me, I've been kicked

out of enough of them to know.

They want you to become less callow, less shallow

But I say why invite stressing? (Shh!)

Stop studying strife.

And learn to live

The unexamined

Life

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.

Dancing through.

Dancing through life, swaying and

sweeping, and always keeping cool.

Life is fraught-less when you're thoughtless.

Those who don't try, never look foolish.

Dancing through life, mindless and careless.

Make sure you're where less trouble is rife.

Woes are fleeting, blows are glancing.

When you're dancing through life.

I'm gonna go study outside again.

Let's go down to The Oz Dust Ballroom

We'll meet there later tonight.

We can dance 'til it's light find the prettiest girl.

Give her a whirl Right on

down to The Oz Dust Ballroom

Come on, follow me You'll be happy to be there

Dancing through Down at the Oz Dust if

only because dust is what we come to.

Nothing matters, but knowing nothing matters.

It's just life.

It's just life.

So keep dancing through.

Galinda, Galinda, here.

Keep it. I've got many. I cry a lot.

Well, thank you.

I hope you'll save and dance for me tonight. I'll be

right there, waiting all night.

That's so kind. But you know what would be even kinder?

See that tragically

beautiful girl, the one in the chair.

It seems so unfair, we should go on a spree.

And not she, gee, I know someone would be my hero.

If that's the one were to go invite her.

Well, maybe I can invite her.

Oh, Bic, really? You would do that for me?

I would do anything for you.

Well?

Oh, right now?

Why not?

Go ask her right now?

Why not? She's right there.

Oh.

You're good.

I don't know what you mean.

I love helping others.

Oh. And I happen to be free tonight, after all.

Now that we've met one another.

It's clear we deserve each other.

You're perfect.

You're perfect.

So we're perfect together.

Born to be forever

Dancing through life

You'll never guess what just happened to me.

What?

That perfectly adorable Munchkin boy just asked me out.

He said he was too shy to ask me at first.

But then Galinda emboldened him.

Wait, Galinda?

Don't.

Don't you dare say another word against her.

I'm about to have the happiest night of my life.

Thanks to Galinda.

Finally for this one night,

I'm about to have a fun night with this Munchkin boy,

Galinda found for me.

And I only wish there were

something I could do for her to repay her.

Elphaba, see, we deserve each other.

And Galinda helped it come true.

We deserve each other.

Me and Boq.

Please, Elphaba, try to understand.

I do.

One, two, three.

That was it.

That was it.

And it's perfect.

Sweet Oz.

Am I not the most scandalocious little fish in the sea?

The most.

Fyiero is going to lose what's left of his mind.

And B, we nailed it.

Now hurry up.

Okay, I can't believe that this boy know how to get into The Oz Dust Ballroom

And we just happened to cross paths today

Am I right?

Um...

Ew.

What even is that?

Galinda?

What's the reason?

I know.

It's my granny.

She always makes me the most hideodeous hats.

I'd give it away, but I don't hate anyone that much.

I couldn't.

Could I? No!

Oh.

Hi.

We should go.

Yeah, we have to go rouge our knees.

Do a tuck.

Do a rouge.

Right.

I do a thing.

I love you, children!

Yeah.

You just always look good.

Just a joy.

So good.

Joyful.

Galinda.

Um, Nessa and I were talking about you just now and...

Oh, well we were just talking about you.

How you should join us tonight.

I don't follow.

You join us at the Oz Dust.

I'm inviting you.

Why?

Well... well, because everyone will be there.

And don't tell me you have nothing to wear.

'Cause, you could wear this.

I mean...

It goes with everything you own.

It's really sharp.

Don't you think?

You know, black

Is this year's pink!

You deserve each other

This hat and you, you're both so smart.

You deserve each other.

So here, out of the goodness of my heart.

We're going to get arrested.

Sorry to disturb you, Madame

Morrible, but I have a favor to ask.

Listen, Nessa.

Yes?

Nessa, I've got something to confess. A reason why, well, why I asked you here tonight

And I know it isn't fair- Oh, Boq, I know why.

You do?

It's because I'm in this

chair and you felt sorry for me.

Well, isn't that right?

No.

Oh, no, no.

I don't feel sorry for you.

You're great.

I asked you because... because...

Because you are so beautiful.

Oh, Boq, I think you're wonderful.

We deserve each other.

Don't you see?

This is our chance.

We deserve each other.

Don't we, Boq?

You know what?

Let's dance.

Let's dance.

You.

Me?

And you can go back to doing whatever this is.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Go.

Go.

Yeah.

Madame Morrible.

You are... seriously, I admire you so...

Enough.

A magic wand?

It's a training wand.

A training wand for me?

Madame Morrible, how can I express my gratitution?

It is my heart's desire to become a sorceress.

Thank you for having faith in me.

Actually, I have no faith in you.

This is your roommate's idea, not mine.

I'm confused.

Miss Elphaba has requested

that I include you in our sorcery

seminar and insisted that I tell you this very night

or she would quit.

Elphaba did?

Mm-hmm.

Why?

I'm a sorceress, not a mind reader.

I have no idea why, but I can't risk losing her.

So here I am.

My personal opinion, dear, is

that you do not have what it takes.

I hope you prove me wrong.

I doubt you will.

You may want to thank her.

She just got here.

What?

Well I'll say this much,

She doesn't give a wink what anyone thinks

Of course she does. She just pretends not to.

I can't watch.

I feel awful.

Why?

It's not like it's your fault.

Excuse me.

What are you doing?

Stop.

No. Dancing through life, here at the Ozdust If only because dust is what we come to And here's the strange thing, your life could end up changing While you're dancing Through

Wait a second.

You're telling me that was your first party ever.

Well, do funerals count?

That was funny.

Thank you.

I couldn't remotely sleep.

Neither can I.

I know.

Let's tell each other something

we've never told anyone before.

Okay, fine.

I'll go first.

Fiyero and I are getting married.

He asked you already?

Oh, he doesn't know yet.

Okay.

Okay, now you tell me a secret.

Like what?

Like...

Like...

Why do you sleep with this funny little green bottle

of your pillow?

What is it?

I want to know.

No, give it back.

Please.

Give it back.

Give it back!

It was my mother's.

That's all.

Well, that's not fair.

I told you a really good one.

My father hates me.

What?

That's not the secret.

Oh.

The secret is that he has a good reason.

It's my fault.

What is?

That my sister is the way she is.

When my mother was carrying Nessa,

my father began to worry that she might come out.

Green.

He was so worried that he made my mother

chew milkflowers day and night.

Only the milkflowers made Nessa come too soon

and her little legs there...

And my mother... well, she never woke up.

None of which would have ever

happened if it wasn't for me.

So it's my fault.

What?

No.

That was the milkflower's fault, not yours.

That might be your secret, Elphaba,

but that doesn't make it true.

Look.

It's tomorrow.

And Elphie...

Can I call you Elphie?

Well, it's a little bit perky.

I know.

I know what I'm gonna call you then!

And you can call me.

Galinda.

That is your name.

Let's not quarrel.

Elphie, now that we're friends,

I've decided to make you my new project.

Well, you really don't have to do that.

I know.

That's what makes me so nice.

Whenever I see someone less fortunate than I...

And let's face it, right?

Who isn't?

Less fortunate than I,

my tender heart tends to start to bleed.

And when someone needs a makeover,

I simply have to take over.

I know.

I know.

Exactly what they need.

And even in your case...

Never mind.

Yeah.

Okay, I'm gonna put these right back on here.

Though it's the toughest case

I've yet to face...

Don't worry, I'm determined to succeed

Follow my lead

And yes, indeed, you will be

Popular, you're gonna be popular

I'll teach you the proper poise

When you talk to boys

The ways to flirt and flounce Ew.

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 cohorts

You'll be good as sports

Know the slang you've got to know

So let's start

Cause you've got an awfully long way to go

Don't be offended by my frank analysis

Think of it as personality dialysis!

Now that I've chosen to become a pal, a sister,

an advisor, there's nobody wiser

Not when it comes to popular

I know about popular

And with an assist from me

to be who you'll be

instead of dreary who you were

well are, there's nothing that can stop you

from becoming popular!

Lar.

More

La la la la la la

We're gonna make you popular

This isn't gonna work

What?

Elphie!

You mustn't think that way!

Your whole life is gonna change

And it's all because of me!

Come on

When I see depressing creatures

With un-prepossessing features

I remind them of their own

Behalf to think of

Celebrated heads of state

Or especially great communicators

Did they have brains knowledge?

Well, actually-

Don't make me laugh!

They were?

Popular?

Right!

It's all about popular

It's not about aptitude

It's the way you're viewed

So it's very shrewd to be

Very, very popular

Like me

Hair

First

Hair

We toss our hair

Ready?

Toss, toss

Toss, toss

That's a choice

Next, I'm gonna transform this simple

Frock

Slash coat

This simple froat

Boop

Into a magnificent ball gown

Ball gown

Ball gown

Ball gown

Come on

Come on

Counting on you!

Ball gown

Seriously?

Do you need my help?

No, just wear the froat

It's pretty

Let's just start a little smaller

After you, madame

You?

Let's see

Huh!

Oh,

Maybe

Just this

Pink goes good with green

Goes well with green

It so does

Why, Miss Elphaba

Look at you

Hm

You're beautiful

I have to go

Wha-

Wha-?

Wha-

Wha-

You're welcome

Oh, hello

And though you protest

Your disinterest

I know clandestinely

You're gonna grin and bear it your newfound popularity

You've been Galinda-fied

You don't need to do that, you know

Come on, let's get the gloves

Dr. D

I called me a doctor, I found his phone

He needs a successful appointment to you

I'll call you one day

Dr. Dillamond, I brought you some poppies. Not now, Miss Elphaba

Please everyone take your seats I have something to say in very little time

My dear students, this will be my last day here at Shiz You see, animals are no longer permitted to teach

What?

It's alright Miss Elphaba, I'll be alright, I...

Students, remain calm,

please, there's no cause for alarm

What is this, what's happening?

Come on, goat

Hey! You can't permit this

Elphaba, I'm afraid it's out of our hands

They can take away my job, but

I shall continue speaking out

Listen to me, you're not being told the whole story

Are we all just going to sit here in silence?

That's quite enough, Miss Elphaba.

Take your seat.

Students, your new history professor

has prepared a special presentation

Good afternoon, students

Good afternoon

In times such as these, it behooves us all

Not merely to study the past, but to look to the future

This is called a cage

This remarkable innovation is for the good of all of Oz

As well as for the animals' own good, you see

If it's so good, why is he trembling?

He's just happy to be here

Now, one benefit of caging an animal this young is that

in all likelihood, he'll never learn to speak

The dimensions of the cage will vary publicize the

animal, but the basic design remains the same

Let me show you

Can you imagine a world where animals are kept in cages

and they never learn to speak?

This poor lion cub seems so

frightened, what are we going to do?

Sorry, we?

Well, someone's got to do something.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, come here

What is happening?

I don't know, I got mad and

Fiyero, what are you doing?

Well, you coming? Come on

That's it

Don't worry

There we go

What in the name of Oz?

I didn't mean to scare you.

Why is it you're always causing some sort of commotion?

I don't cause commotions, I am one.

Yeah, well that's for sure.

So you think I should just keep my

mouth shut, is that what you're saying?

What, no, no, I'm saying -

You think I want to be this way?

I think -

You think I want to care this much?

I mean -

I know that my life would be

much easier if I didn't care about

You ever let anyone else talk?

Sorry

I just -

But can I just say one more thing?

You could have walked away back there

Sorry

So, no matter how shallow and

self-absorbed you pretend to be

Excuse me, there is no pretense here

I happen to be genuinely

self-absorbed and deeply shallow

Oh, please, no you're not

Otherwise you wouldn't be so unhappy

Fine

If you don't want my help...

No, I do.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

IS HAPPENING HERE LOL

-music-

What did you mean to do back there?

And why was I the only one you didn't do it to?

You're bleeding

Am I?

Mm-hmm

Damn it

I must have scratched you

Yeah, or maybe you scratched me or something

I better get to safety

For the cub

I better get in here,

Of course.

Get the cub to safety.

Fiyero! Hands touch, Eyes meet. Sudden silence, Sudden heat.

Hearts leap

in a giddy whirl

He could be that boy

But I'm not that girl

Don't dream

Too far

Don't lose sight of who you are

Don't remember that rush of joy

He could be that boy

I'm not that girl

I'm not that girl

Every so often

We long to steal

To the land of what-might-have-been

But that doesn't soften the ache we feel

When reality sits back in

Blithe smile

Blithe smile

lithe limb

She who's winsome

she wins him

Gold hair

With a gentle curl

That's the girl he chose

And heaven knows

I'm not that girl

Don't wish,

Don't start

Wishing only wounds the heart

I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl

There's a girl I know

He loves her so

-

I'm not that girl

I'm not that girl

Miss Elphaba!

Come at once!

There!

Elphie, you've got to get down there. Come on!

Miss Elphaba! I finally heard back from the wizard! Look!

No! Stop!

I...

Can not!

It's yours. Open it.

His Royal Ozness

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Summons you most ceremoniously to

his personal palace in the Emerald City.

Wait, um, this invitation is non-transferable.

This is your chance to make good.

Of course, you're going to

have to prove yourself first.

Prove myself? Prove yourself worthy.

Deary, this is the Wizard of Oz.

If he's going to grant your heart's desire...

But prove myself how? I...

I'm not ready. It's too soon.

Don't be so pessimistical. I too had to prove my powers,

When I met the wizard.

You'll find a way. I have faith in you.

Not to fret. Weather is my specialty.

Mustn't let you get wet.

That's when you're on the cusp of greatness

Don't do it!

For aboard the Emerald City!

Father, this is Boq, the boy I wrote to you about.

Oh, yes, Governor Thropp.

Good to meet you.

Well, I've heard so much about you.

My Nessarose is very precious to me.

So you see, you take good care of her.

I understand.

Good.

Elphie!

Elphie, the train is here.

And it came with the cutest little man, with a mustache.

You've got to see him.

Well, Elphie, how will we manage without you?

You won't even notice I'm gone.

Yeah, you have Fiyero.

Speaking of Fiyero, where is he now? Not

That I expect him to come and say goodbye,

but I mean, we barely know each other.

Well, I barely know him anymore either.

He's been different.

He's distant and moodified.

And he's been thinking, which really worries me.

It all started the day Dr. Dillamond was fired.

I mean, who knew he cared so much about that old goat?

Look, he did come.

Dearest, we're over here, darling! Hm!

Come.

Hi.

Elphaba.

Fiyero.

I'm happy for you.

Thank you.

Yes, we are both so happy.

I've been thinking.

Yeah, I heard.

About the... the lion cub and Dr. Dillamond.

I think about that day a lot.

Totally.

Oh, me too.

Oh, me too, me too.

Mm-hmm.

I think about it constantly.

I mean, poor Dr. Dillamond.

It makes one want to...

to take a stand.

In fact, excuse me.

Everyone, please.

I have an announcement.

I am changing my name.

What?

Your name?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Since Dr. Dillamond used to have his own goat-like way

of pronouncifying my name, in solidarity

and in order to express my outrage,

I will henceforth be no longer as Gah-Linda.

But simply, Glinda.

She is so good!

She so is!

Such braverism!

Glinda, you're wonderful!

Glinda!

Good luck.

See?

There.

What... what is that?

Don't be upset, Galinda.

It's Glinda now!

Stupid!

I don't even know what made me say it.

It doesn't even matter what your name is.

Everyone loves you.

I don't care.

I want him.

I don't even think he's perfect

anymore, and I still want him.

This must be what other people feel like.

How do they bear it?

All aboard.

To the Emerald City!

*gasp* The Mustache Man. Come on!

Oh, wait.

Oh, excuse

Oh, excuse me

Elphie, here.

I forgot to give you this.

Bye.

Come with me.

What?

To meet the wizard.

What are you saying?

Get on the train,

you're going to miss it!

I wouldn't want to impose.

It doesn't matter.

Just come with me.

I couldn't possibly.

This is your moment.

I'm coming. One short day, If you only have, if you only have, One short day, One short day in the Emerald City, One short day in the Emerald City, One short day, one short day, one short day, one short day, In the Emerald City Emerald City One short day in the Emerald City One short day full of so much to do Every way that you look in this city There's something exquisite you'll want to visit Before the day's through, There are buildings tall as Quoxwood trees! Dress salons, And libraries! Palaces, Museums A hundred strong There are wonders likе I've never seen, It's all grand! And it's all green! I think wе've found the place where we belong! I wanna be in this hoi-polloi So I'll be back for good someday To make my life and make my way But for today, we'll wander and enjoy! One short day in the Emerald City One short day to have a lifetime of fun One short day And we're warning the city Now that we're in here, You'll know we've been here, Before we are done! Presenting the absolute factual story of our wonderful Wizard of Oz Starring the Emerald City players Long, long ago, long before we can recall There lived here in Oz, the magical wise ones Ah, the magical wise ones! The wisest of them all! We will not live forever, That, I can foresee, So let us set all of our magic In a strange and secret language, In a book, The Grimmerie The Grimmerie! But time ticked ever onward, day by day, And all those who could read it passed away 'Til one day, no one could But the wise ones left a prophecy! In Oz's darkest hour, Though we cannot say when There will come one with the power, To read the Grimmerie again! And Oz, which had been sad and blah, Once more will sing a joyous (Idina Menzel Queen Shit) A man! In a balloon.. arriving from the sky! Maybe he is here to fulfill the prophecy! But can he read the Grimmerie? This man who comes out of the blue, Is he the prophecy? There's one way we'll know if it's true... Fetch the Grimmerie! [WIZARD OF OZ] Omaha, Omaha! He can read it! He must be... a Wizard! The prophecy fulfilled, What merriness he'll bring, Now every Ozian raise a voice and sing, and sing, and sing! Who's the mage, whose major itinerary is making all Oz merrier? Who's the sage, who sagely sailed in to save our posteriors? Whose enthuse for hot-air ballooning Has all of Oz honeymooning? Ooh, isn't he wonderful? Our wonderful Wizard One short day (Who's the mage whose major) In the Emerald City (Itinerary is making all Oz merrier?) One short day (Who's the sage who sagely) To have a lifetime of fun (Sailed in to save our posteriors?) What a way to be seeing the city Where so many roam to, We'll call it home too. And then, just like now, we can say... We're just two friends Two good friends Two best friends Sharing one wonderful, One short -

The wizard will see you now! Day!

Bonjour.

Elphie, what's wrong?

Listen to me.

You can do this.

You can do anything. What is that sound?

I am Oz.

Oh, Elphie.

I am Oz, the Great and Terrible.

Who are you?

And why do you seek me?

Elphie, say something. Say something!

I know what I'm supposed to say. Anything!

Say something.

I'm...

Say something.

My name is Elphaba Thropp.

Your Ozness?

And this is...

Elphaba, Thank you!

Elphaba Thropp.

*gasp* A man.

Elphaba Thropp.

I didn't know it was you.

You made it.

Uh, sorry about all that.

I didn't mean to...

s tartle you.

You know, when I'm back there, I

cannot make out people's faces.

Well, it's just so...

It's so great to meet you.

It's so great to... hang on.

What's that?

What?

I'm so sorry, may I?

Sure, yes.

It's OK.

It's OK.

Oh.

For you, my special guest.

That's a keepsake for you to

cherish for all your days.

Very kind of you,

Your Ozness.

Thank you.

This is an additional unexpected.

Hi, what's your name?

Glinda

The "gah" is silent.

Hello, Belinda.

-

Oh, yeah.

Well, I don't know.

I think it's a bit much.

But folks have come to expect that sort of thing.

And you got to give the people what they want.

I think... I think...

But if you think that's something to see,

wait 'til ya see this.

I give you the Oz of Tomorrow.

Yes.

Yes.

Now, I don't know if your eyes have already

fallen upon this long and winding path.

Do you see that?

I think people need direction.

This thing gets built.

Everybody always is going to remember that if you just

follow the road, follow the road,

it's going to lead you right to me.

Recently, I've gotten a

little stuck trying to figure out

what color the bricks of that road ought to be.

So I jerryrigged this thing up, which does that.

Oh.

Yeah, Elphaba, you give that a whirl.

Sure.

And let's try.

Oh, now, green.

Hmm.

Yellow, maybe purple.

Wait, just go back one, please.

The yellow, really?

Yes.

It just says road to me.

Let me see.

Huh.

And... oh, yellow brick road. hahaha, I don't know.

Oh, hey, come up here.

Come up here with me in my sandbox.

Step right up.

Watch this.

So here's where we are.

And when we open it up inside...

That's you.

Well, it is me.

Yeah, it is me.

I shouldn't.

I'm here by myself a lot.

Anyway, I don't...

Oh.

My god.

If my head wasn't attached to it,

I'd leave it in, uh, Munchkinland.

Hey, you know what I had made?

Look, special.

Keep that.

I know, I mean it.

Keep it- keep it forever.

Because at some point, who knows?

We might be putting your little artifact in there

right next to mine.

Because maybe someday you're going to be calling

this whole pile of stones your home.

Elphie.

She's green.

Oh, well.

She doesn't have to be.

Would that be your heart's desire?

No. No.

My heart's desire is for you to help the animals.

Something bad is happening to them, and they need you.

I had a feeling you were going to say that.

And I agree wholeheartedly.

Yeah.

Wow, it's the darndest thing.

It's almost like I, uh...

I already know you.

I knew you'd understand.

That makes me... that makes me so happy.

Well, that's what I love best, making people happy.

I am a sentimental man who

always longed to be a father.

That's why I do the best I

can to treat each citizen of Oz

as son or daughter.

So, Elphaba, I'd like to raise you high.

Because I think everyone deserves the chance to fly.

And helping you with your

ascent allows me to feel so parental.

For I am a sentimental man.

That's enough of that.

Okay.

Uh?

Is that...

Oh, it is.

Madame Morrible, what are you doing here?

Oh deary.

I couldn't miss your big moment.

Neither could you, I see.

I don't believe... is that the Grimmerie?

Yes.

That's the ancient book of

wisdom, thaumaturgy, and androids.

Can I touch it?

No.

Wait a minute,

wait a minute, wait a minute.

She may not be ready.

Casting a spell with the Grimmerie...

That's a mighty tall order.

You know, I should know.

You're right, we mustn't rush her, perhaps

today has been too overwhelming.

No.

Please.

Let me try.

Let me prove myself.

Oh Sweet Oz, It opened for her.

So which spell are you going to start with?

We've been working on levitation.

Levitation?

Oh, that's interesting.

You know that, um, Chistri here,

have you ladies met, uh, Ch-Chistri?

The leader of my Emerald Guards.

Pleased to meet you.

He'd hate to admit this.

He does not like talking about himself.

But he watches birds, so longingly, every morning.

Birds.

How could I help him? I don't-

Elphie, look.

Are those birds?

Lost language.

Our lost language of spells.

Don't be discouraged if you can't decipher it.

Dearie, I myself can only read a

word or two, and that took years.

Oh, Elphie.

What did I tell you?

Chistri, are you all right?

Chistri!

It's just the transition, Dearie.

It's just the transition.

But it's hurting him!

Chistri.

You did it. You actually did it.

He's in pain. Quick, how do I reverse it?

Reverse?

How do I reverse it?

A spell from The Grimmerie can never be reversed.

Elphaba. Elphaba.

No. No .

I knew she had the power. I told you.

Elphie, this is a sound of eyes.

This is just what we hoped for, eyes in the skies.

Yes. They'll make perfect as spies.

Spies?

Elphaba? Elphaba.

Elphie? Elphie!

You're right. That's a very harsh word. Oh, scouts.

What about scouts? Because they'll be flying around to

Oz reporting back on a new seditious animal activity.

Seditious animal activity? What does that mean?

Elphie, I'm sure the wizard has a good reason.

It's you.

You're behind all of this.

You're the reason why people

are turning against the animals.

It's all because of you.

We're doing this to keep

people safe. All of Oz will benefit.

And you've known all along.

Since the day you met me? You will benefit too, Dearie.

You must trust me. Don't! Don't!

Elphaba, when I first got here, there was discord.

There was discontent. And back where I come from,

everybody knows that the best way to bring folks

together is to give them a real good enemy.

If you wanted spies, why

wouldn't you just- why wouldn't you just make them yourself?

I don't know.

Elphaba!

Elphaba! You are talking to the Wizard of Oz!

Read it! Cast a spell! Read it!

Don't!

You can't, can you? Can you?

That's why you need all of this!

And you need spies and animals and cages and an enemy!

You have no real power!

Exactly. That's why I need you.

Think of your future, Dearie.

Stay back!

Elphie, listen to them. Please.

Good advice, young lady. Listen, Elphaba, if you can

pull this off, first crack out of the box.

Oh- oh, my God. I can't even imagine. And I meant every word

about you having a home here.

It's gonna be you and me, and hey, if it'd make you

happy, possibly... your friend.

Really?

Why not?

No!

Elphaba!

You want to do yourself some good? Get her back.

Elphie! Elphie!

Listen!

Listen!

If you want to keep your families

safe, you'll stay loyal to our Wizard.

She did this! The green one! Don't let her get away!

Elphie!

Elphie, where are you going? Elphie, what are you doing?

No!

Elphaba, please, come back.

Let's just have a word with them.

Elphie, Elphie! What are you doing?

Elphie!

Elphie!

Guards. Guards.

Guards, there is a fugitive, at large, here in the palace,

bring her to me.

Elphaba, what are you doing?

Follow me! Follow me!

Where? What are you? Out of your mind!?

Goodness, Elphaba, you're being ridiculous.

Just come on!

Where are you going?

Get her!

Get me over here!

Get in quickly!

Absolutely!

Quick! Jump!

Jump!

Me? Jump?

Jump!

Jump! Now!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Give me my leg.

Give me my leg!

Move!

Hey! No!

Oh, no, no.

Elphie, Elphie, Elphie!

Faster! Look out!

Quick! Get off!

This is not good.

This is not good.

This is not good.

Elphie!

Elphie!

Calm down!

You have got to let him explain.

Over my dead body.

This is everything you've dreamed of!

Elphaba, this is so much bigger than us.

Why couldn't you have stayed calm for once,

instead of flying off the handle?

I hope you're happy.

I hope you're happy now.

I hope you're happy how you've hurt your cause forever.

I hope you think you're clever.

I hope you're happy.

I hope you're happy too.

I hope you're proud how you would grovel in submission

to feed your own ambition.

So, I can't imagine how.

I hope you're happy.

Right now.

Citizens of Oz.

There is an enemy who must be found and captured.

Believe nothing she says.

She has stolen our Grimmerie.

She is evil.

Responsible for the mutilation

of these poor, innocent monkeys.

Her green skin is but an outward manifestatorium.

Of her twisted nature.

This distortion.

This repulsion.

This...

Wicked Witch.

Don't be afraid.

I'm not afraid.

It's the wizard who should be afraid of me.

Hey.

Elphie, listen to me.

Listen to me, just...

Just say you're sorry.

You can still be with the wizard

what you've worked and waited for You can have all you ever wanted...

I know.

But I don't want it.

No.

I can't want it.

Anymore.

Something has changed within me.

Something is not the same.

I'm through with playing by the

rules of someone else's game.

Too late for second guessing.

Too late to go back to sleep.

It's time to trust my instincts.

Close my eyes.

And leap.

It's time to try defying gravity.

I think I'll try defying gravity.

And you can't pull me down.

Can't I make you understand?

You're having delusions of grandeur.

I'm through accepting limits

'Cause someone says they're so.

Some things I can not change.

But 'til I try, I'll never know.

Too long I've been afraid of.

Losing love I guess I've lost.

Well if that's love, it

comes at much too high a cost.

I'd sooner buy defying gravity.

Kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity.

And you can't pull me down.

Elphie, what are you doing?

Elphaba, please!

Listen to me, stop.

Appantaka.

Appantaka not.

Not that hideodeous levitation spell, Elphaba please!

You don't know what you're doing with that, please!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Well.

Where are your wings?

Maybe you're not as powerful as you think you are.

Sweet Oz.

Quickly.

Get on.

What?

Come with me.

Think of what we could do.

Together.

Unlimited.

Together we're unlimited.

Together we'll be the greatest team there's ever been.

Glinda, Dreams the way we planned them

If we work in tandem

there's no fight we cannot win.

Just you and I.

Defying gravity.

With you and I.

Defying gravity.

They'll never bring us down.

Are you coming?

Elphie, you're trembling.

Here.

Put this around you.

I hope you're happy.

Now that you're choosing this - you too.

I hope it brings you bliss.

I really hope you get it,

and you don't live to regret it.

I hope you're happy in the end.

I hope you're happy, my friend.

No!

No! Leave her alone!

She hasn't done anything wrong!

-

Elphie!

I'm the one you want.

I'm the one you want.

It's me.

It's me!

What have you done this time?

What did he say?

Get it away!

So if you care to find me

Look to the western sky.

As someone told me lately

Everyone deserves a chance to fly.

And if I'm flying solo,

At least I'm flying free,

To those who ground me,

Take a message back from me.

Tell them how I am defying gravity

I'm flying high defying

gravity, and soon I'll match them in renown

Citizens of Oz,

There is an enemy who must be found and captured.

Believe nothing she says

She has stolen our Grimmerie.

She is evil.

Her green skin

Is but an outward manifestorium of her twisted nature.

This distortion, this repulsion,

This...

This Wicked Witch.

Nobody in all the Oz.

No wizard that there is or was

Is ever gonna bring me down

I hope you're happy!

Look at her, she's wicked!

Kill her!
