Wicked play script pdf

No, I only meant The guards hesitate, completely thrown off by this-- Fiyero pulls Glinda close, holds the rifle closer Reluctantly, they do. He reaches out, grabs the broom without moving the rifle, throws the broom to Elphaba. What are you doing--? The Guards freeze, taken aback her fierceness. A pregnant silence. Morrible and Glinda observe from the balcony above. Boq — now of course the Tin Man —stands on a balcony above the crowd and addresses them fervently.

BOQ And this is more than just a service to the Wizard. I have a personal score to settle with Elph-- with the Witch. BOQ Come on… tell them what she did to you in class that day! How you were just a cub, and she… cub-napped you--!

BOQ turns back to the crowd You see--? Kill the Witch! About Nessarose. And that cyclone. You wanted this from the beginning!

So just smile, and wave, and shut up! Good fortune, Witch-hunters! And a shaken Glinda turns back to the crowd, forces herself to wave. Elphaba emerges from another part of the castle. Then get those shoes off your feet! Must have been raised in a barn! Chistery, where are the others? She turns. Glinda is there. And that poor little dog—Dodo. I mean, come on. Let it go. What took you so long? I surrender. Elphaba looks up from the note. Her gaze falls upon a bucket, in the corner.

She walks over to the bucket, stares at it. She signals to Chistery, and he brings the Book of Spells. Elphaba holds the Book out to Glinda. Glinda stares at the Book, stunned Go on.

Take it. But only one-- that mattered. They embrace. No one can know you were here! Glinda watches from her side of the curtain. Glinda crosses to the hat, slowly picks it up. She starts to slowly move away, clutching the hat. Chistery notices-- a small green bottle on the floor.

And forces himself to speak. The Wizard sits, slumped in a chair. I thought it went quite well-- they seemed thrilled to shreds with their brains and their hearts and everything! And it was right here, in this room. You offered me a drink from it. She was a child of -- both worlds.

In captivity? You see, my personal opinion is that you do not have I doubt you will. Stepping into her bubble machine, getting ready to greet the citizens of Oz. Chistery crosses to her, carrying the book of spells. He hands her the book. She gratefully accepts the book from him. Where the Scarecrow appears. A trap door in the floor suddenly opens, and Elphaba sticks her head out. The Scarecrow helps Elphaba out of the trap door.

She stares at him. Reaches out to touch him-- then pulls her hand back. You saved my life. We have been through a frightening time. And there will be other times, and other things that frighten us. Can we. Not if we want to be safe.

Glinda turns in surprise, looks at them. Their Father angrily pulls Elphaba aside. He exits. Elphaba watches him go. All the Students laugh, Boq loudest of all. Galinda waves hers very persistently. Galinda turns to them Galinda thrusts her hand up. Morrible pulls a reluctant Elphaba by the hand towards an equally reluctant Galinda Morrible sweeps off.

The students follow suit. She breaks off suddenly, struck by a wonderful vision of her future. Everyone hesitates, did they hear right? Nessarose exits. Elphaba regards the offensive words on the board. She takes out a sandwich wrapped in paper. She holds it out to him. And in fact, Madame Morrible has entered. She sweeps out. BOQ Boq. Until now.

Pfannee and ShenShen exit. Elphaba and Galinda come face to face center stage. All are dancing. Fiyero and Galinda are clearly the center of it all — the Stars. BOQ You do? I-6c thru 36 Madame Morrible enters and strides purposefully over to Galinda.

Madame Morrible hands Galinda a diminutive magic wand. Morrible exits. Galinda stands there in shocked dismay. Fiyero comes over to her. Elphaba slowly looks around the room. Galinda crosses to Elphaba, who is still dancing. She taps her on the shoulder. Elphaba rips the bottle away from Galinda, and shoves it back under her pillow. She demonstrates and Elphaba tries.

They take him away. He holds up a cage, which contains a Lion Cub. A quizzical reaction from the class. Not really stupid. Fiyero nods; continues to stare at her. Elphaba reaches out to touch his face.

The song ends. Morrible enters, holding an umbrella. She holds out a green envelope. Elphaba stares at it, then at her; stunned. Boq and Nessarose are there as well. Fiyero joins them. Both Elphaba and Fiyero look at each other and then back to Galinda, dumbfounded.

A horrible silence. And he rushes off. Galinda now Glinda turns to Elphaba, devastated. You see? Elphaba embraces her. The scene dissolves; Glinda and Elphaba are back on the street, heading for the Palace.

The two girls clutch each other, terrified The Wizard sees Elphaba staring at the enormous Head. Morrible beams at The Wizard, who smiles back at her. Elphaba studies the Book. He sings to Elphaba as she chants the spell in counterpoint. All at once, Chistery frantically tears at his waistcoat.

And with the book of spells still clutched in her hands she runs out of the room The Wizard rushes back behind his head Elphaba ignores her, continues chanting Elphaba grabs the broom. Get on! Glinda stares at her. BOQ Yes, Madame. He takes a step back, gives a curt, formal bow, and exits. Elphaba turns away, in pain, struggling to absorb this. Then, she turns back to Nessarose. Perhaps a light even comes up on them. Nessarose gets back into her wheelchair. Come here at once!

He stops, seeing Elphaba. He is instantly shocked and terrified. BOQ Nessa— this changes everything! Elphaba grabs the Book from her, pushes Boq in the chair behind the armoir. Elphaba enters… looks for the lever to the Monkey cage. Suddenly—the Wizard appears. She turns away from him. IIa He pulls the lever, the cage opens, and the Winged Monkeys spill out. And he does. The Goat stares blankly at Elphaba. He turns, sees her Elphaba runs to him Suddenly Fiyero points his rifle at her.

The guards exit. All at once Glinda appears in the doorway. Both women stare at him, in shock. She looks up, he holds it out to her. She looks at it. The Wizard shrugs, drinks again. Suddenly Morrible appears, beaming. Glinda buries her face in her hands, SOBS. Morrible turns to the Wizard: What did I say?

She looks up at them both, tear-stained. Glinda stands. Tries to pull herself together. She exits. A beat, they look at each other. A campfire. Elphaba and Fiyero are alone at last Fiyero studies her face. She suddenly moves abruptly out of his arms.

They both listen. How do you know? I just do. Elphaba backs away in terror, points II She gathers her things. Elphaba appears. Elphaba buries her face in her hands, distraught. Uh oh! The two stare daggers at each other, then She slaps her back. No, I only meant-- Suddenly Fiyero drops out of a tree— he grabs Glinda, trains his rifle on her. How in Oz--?! She Exits.. The Students Enter And Dance.

Nessarose: What's in the punch? Boq: Lemons, and melons, and pears! Nessarose: Oh my! Nessarose: Yes? Nessarose: Oh, Boq, I know why. Boq: You do? Boq: No Nessarose: Oh, Boq!

Boq: You know what? Let's dance! Nessarose: What? Finally, Mme. Morrible Runs Up To Galinda. Morrible: Oh, Miss Upland? What are you doing here? Morrible: I have something for you. Galinda: Gasps. How can I ever express my graditution? Morrible: Oh, don't thank me! This was your roommate's idea, not mine. Morrible: Miss Elphaba requested that I include you in sorcery class. She insisted I tell you this very night or she would quit the seminar.

Galinda: But Morrible: I have no idea. My personal opinion is you do not have what it takes. I hope you'll prove me wrong I doubt you will. She Leaves. Fiyero Comes Up To Galinda. Fiyero: What is it? Galinda: I got what I wanted Fiyero: Then what's the matter? Galinda: Nothing Fiyero: Good. Let's dance People Then Start Laughing. Fiyero: Who in Oz is this? Galinda: My roommate Fiyero: How can you help it? She Is Alone. There Is No Music. Fiyero: Well I'll say this, she doesn't give a twig about what anyone else thinks.

Galinda: Of course does, she just pretends not to I feel awful Fiyero: Why? It's not like it's your fault. Galinda: Excuse me May I cut in? Galinda Is In Hysterics.

Galinda: Your very first party ever?! Your very first party! Oh I know! Let's tell each other something we've never told anyone I'll go first: Fiyero and I are going to be married squeals.

Elphaba: Really? He's asked you already? Galinda: No, he doesn't know yet Now, you tell me a secret. Elphaba: Like what? Galinda: Like Why do you always sleep with this funny, little, green bottle under your pillow?

Grabs The Bottle. Elphaba: Give that back. Galinda: C'mon, tell me. Tell me tell me! Elphaba: It was my mother's! That's all Galinda: Hands Her The Bottle. It's not fair. I told you a really good one. Elphaba: My father hates me. Elphaba: No, that's not the secret. It's my fault Galinda: What is? You see, when my mother was carrying Nessa, my father was worried that the new baby might come out Both: Green. Elphaba: So he made my mother chew milk flowers, day and night.

But that made Nessa come too soon, with her little legs all tangled. And my mother never woke up. None of which ever would have happened if not for me. Galinda: But that was the milkflowers fault, not yours. That may be your secret, Elphaba, but that doesn't make it true. She Oh look, it's tomorrow! Elphaba: Well, it's a little perky. Galinda: And you can call me Elphaba: You really don't have to do that. Galinda: I know, that's what makes me so nice! Elphaba: This is never going to work!

Galinda: Oh Elphie, you mustn't think that way anymore! Your whole life is going to change Okay, stand I will turn your frock into a beautiful ball gown! Stand up Ball gown!!! Nothing Happens, So She Repeats. Still Nothing Happens. Is this thing on? Elphaba: Do you want me to try? Galinda: No, I've got it! She Throws The Wand Down. Oh, just wear the frock Now, I'll show you how to flip your hair: Flip flip. Or you could use your hand. Or, you can use your whole body.

Falls onto bed. Now, for the finishing touch. Takes flower out of her hair, puts it into Elphaba's. Why, Miss Elphaba, look at you, you're beautiful. Hands her the mirror. I have to go.

Galinda: You're Welcome! Dillamond's Class In Desks. Elphaba Walks In Outrageously Dressed. Elphaba: Flips her hair.. Flip Flip! Fiyero: Nothing, it's just You don't have to do that , you know? Dillamond: Alright, take your seats, class! I have something to say, and very little time to say it. This is my last day here at Shiz I am no longer permitted to teach. I want to thank you for your sharing your enthusiasm, your essays, no matter how feebly structured, and even, on occasion, your lunch.

Morrible Rushes In. Morrible: Doctor Dillamond! I'm so dreadfully sorry. Elphaba: Madame, we've got to do something. Dillamond: Miss Elphaba, they can take away my job, but I shall continue speaking out. Scientist: Come on, goat Dillamond: They are not telling you the whole story! Remember that, class! Remember that. He Is Gone. Elphaba: Doctor Dillamond! After A Pause. Well, are you just going to sit here in silence? Morrible: Miss Elphaba, there is nothing we can do.

Please take your seat. Professor: Good afternoon, students! Morrible: Good afternoon. Professor: Every day, with every tick of the Time Dragon Clock, in every corner of our great Oz, one hears the silence of progress.

For example: this is called a cage! Professor: Now, we will be seeing more and more of them in the near future. This remarkable innovation is actually for the Animal's own good Elphaba: If this is for his own good, then why is he trembling?

Professor: He's just excited to be here, that's all. Hits the cage. Now, as I was saying, one of the benefits of caging a Lion cub while he's young is that he never, in fact, will learn how to speak. Elphaba: What? Professor: That's right! Come closer! Elphaba: To Fiyero. Can you imagine a world where Animals are kept in cages and they never speak?

Professor: Now, he may seem a bit agitated but that's easily remedied. Elphaba: What should I do? Fiyero: I don't know. Elphaba: Well, somebody has to Do something!!! Sparks Begin To Fly Everywhere. Fiyero: What's happening? Elphaba: I don't know I got mad And don't get mad at me He Grabs The Cage. Well are you coming? Elphaba: Careful! Don't shake him!

Fiyero: I'm not! Elphaba: We can't just let him loose anywhere, you know. We have to find someplace safe Fiyero: Don't you think that I realize that? You must think I'm really stupid or something! Elphaba: No, not really stupid. Fiyero: Why is it that every time I see you you're causing some sort of commotion?

Elphaba: I don't cause commotions, I am one. Fiyero: That's for sure. Elphaba: Oh! So you think I should just keep my mouth shut! Is that what you're saying?

Fiyero: No, I'm Elphaba: Do you think I want to be this way? Do you think I want to care this much? Don't you know how much easier my life would be if I didn't? Fiyero: Do you ever let anyone else talk? Elphaba: Oh, sorry But can I just say one more thing? You could have just walked away back there. Fiyero: So? Elphaba: So, no matter how shallow and self-absorbed you tend to be Fiyero: Excuse me, there's no pretense here.

I happen to be genuinely self-absorbed and deeply shallow. Elphaba: No you're not. Or you wouldn't be so unhappy. Fiyero: Fine, if you don't want my help Elphaba: No, I do! Poor little thing, it's heart is trembling I didn't mean for Fiyero: What did you mean to do? Why was I the only one you didn't do it to? Elphaba: Oh look, you're bleeding Fiyero: Yea I better get to safety I mean the cub He Walks Off.

Elphaba: Fiyero Morrible: Miss Elphaba, there you are! Elphaba: Madame Morrible Elphaba: The Wizard? Morrible: Yes, he wishes to meet you! Elphaba: He asked for me? Morrible: Yes! I know how devastated you were the other day for our poor Doctor Dillamond, but I can assure you my dear, as one door closes, another one opens. Elphaba: Madame, I don't know what to say! How can I ever thank you? She Hugs Her. Oh, I know! Didn't I tell you? Weather is my specialty.

Oz-speed, my dear! Make me proud. Elphaba: I will, I'll try. Conductor: All aboard! Galinda: Remember, eye contact. And don't forget to tell him how wonderful he is, Wizards love that! And be yourself Boq Wheels Nessarose Onstage. Nessarose: Elphaba, I'm so proud of you and I know father would be too.

We're all proud, aren't we? Elphaba: You'll be alright, won't you? Galinda: She'll be fine! Biq will take care of her, right?

It's Boq I can't do this anymore. He Exits. Nessarose: Boq Galinda: Nessa, maybe he's just not the right one Nessarose: No, it's me that's not right. Elphaba, just go, I'll be fine. She Wheels Herself Offstage. Elphaba: Nessa, wait! Galinda: Let her go. She'll have to manage without you. We all will. Elphaba: Please, you'll barely even notice I'm gone.

Besides, you have Fiyero. Where is he, anyway? Not that I expected him to say goodbye to me. We barely know each other. Galinda: I don't know him either.

He's distant, and moodified, and he's been thinking, which really worrries me. I never knew how much he card about that old goat. Fiyero Enters. Galinda: Oh, there he is! Fiyero, over here dearest! Fiyero: He Hands Elphaba Flowers. Elphaba, I'm happy for you. Galinda: Yes, we are both so happy Fiyero: Uh, listen, I've been thinking Elphaba: Yes, I've heard.

Fiyero: About that Lion cub and I think about that day a lot. So do I. Galinda: Me too! Poor Doctor Dillamond. It makes one want to So I've been thinking of Fiyero: Your name? Galinda: Well, yes! Since Doctor Dillamond had his own way of pronouncing my name, in solidarity and to express my outrage, I will henceforward be known no longer as Galinda, but as simply, Glinda. Fiyero: Oh well, that's very admirable of you To Elphaba. Elphaba, good luck. He Runs Off. Glinda: There, see?

Elphaba: Galinda Glinda: It's Glinda now. Stupid idea, I don't even know what made me say it. Elphaba: It doesn't matter what your name is, everyone loves you! Glinda: 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? They embrace. Glinda: Where? Elphaba: To the Emerald City. Glinda: Really? Glinda: I've always wanted to see the Emerald City!

Elphaba: Museums! Glinda: It's all grand! Elphaba: And it's all green! Glinda: All the hustle and bustle! It's all so Ozmopolitan! C'mon we'll be late for WizOMania. Elphaba: I want to remember this moment, always. Nobody's pointing, nobody's staring, for the first time, I'm somewhere that I belong. Glinda: You look positively, emerald. Ozian Official: The Wizard will see you now! All: DAY!!! It Speaks To The Two Voice Booming Wizard: I am Oz, the great and terrible!

Who are you and why do you seek me? Glinda: Say something! Elphaba Thropp your terribleness! His Speaks Normally. Wizard: Oh? Is that you Elphaba? I didn't realize! Wizard: I hope I didn't startle you, it's so hard to make out peoples' faces all the way back there. So, let's see He grabs her hands. Glinda: Glinda. The Ga is silent. Elphaba touches the Oz mask.

Wizard: It's kind of a recipe book for change. Morrible: Don't be discouraged if you can't decipherate it, dearie. Wizard: She Continues Chanting. Oh, Chistery, what a experience you are about to have! Elphaba: What happened? Is something wrong? Morrible: No just a transition, dearie.
