    What is strange about Elphaba? She's _______.How well do you know "Wicked the Musical"?

      green. This is why the wicked witch of the west is always thought of as green.

    What is "Wicked the Musical" based on?How well do you know "Wicked the Musical"?

      a novel. The novel "Wicked" was written by Gregory Maguire.

    " 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..." Who sings this lyric?Wicked

      The Mother's Lover. It's true that the Wizard and the Lover are played by the same actor, but at this point, he is the Lover, not the Wizard.

    Which is the first song the "Unlimited..." set of lyrics appear in?Wicked

      The Wizard and I. "Thank Goodness" is the only song that the "Unlimited..."lyrics don't appear in.

    "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 ---" What comes next?Wicked

      Matching exterior. Stephen Schwartz also did "Pippin" and it is so obvious when you look at the parallels between those songs and these. This one almost directly corresponds to "Corner of the Sky", or the 'I Want Song' by the musical play formula.

    What is Elphaba's problem with Galinda in "What is this feeling?"Wicked

      She's blonde. While Elphaba tells her Father she doesn't like Galinda because she's Blonde, Galinda tells her parents that Elphaba is "Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe..." instead of just saying she is green.

    "The trouble with schools is..."What comes next?Wicked

      They always try to teach the wrong lesson. Going back to the correlations between "Wicked" and "Pippin", this one goes right to the one Bertha sings. I think the name is "Just No Time At All".

    According to Fiyero in "Dancing Through Life", what do schools want you to become?Wicked

      Less callow and less shallow. In the book by Gregory Maguire, Fiyero is not at all like he is in the play. The character of Fiyero in the play is the character of Averic in the book. Averic shows up in the play as the guy who drops Fiyero at Shiz.

    "I'll teach you the proper ploys when you talk to boys, little ways to..." What comes next?Wicked

      flirt and flounce. This song is one of the many reasons Kristin Chenoweth is a musical theater goddess.

    "I wasn't born for the..." What comes next?Wicked

      rose and pearl. "Theres a girl I know He loves her so I'm not that girl..."

    What will Glinda and Elphaba be late for in "One Short Day"?Wicked

      Wizomania. Don't you love those guys during Wizomania whose heads pop up and make them look like Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum?

    "Something has changed within me Something is not the same I'm through with playing..." What comes next?Wicked

      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!"

    "Dreams the way we planned 'em" "If we work (in) ..."What word goes there?Wicked

      Tandem. Glinda doesn't go with Elphaba. Can you imagine the story if she had???

    If you care to find Elphaba at the end of "Defying Gravity", where would you look?Wicked

      the western sky. "As someone told me lately Everyone deserves a chance to fly!"

    What is the name of the song that begins the second act?Wicked

      Thank Goodness. "Defying Gravity" ends the first act, "A Sentimental Man" comes just before "Defying Gravity" and "Wonderful" comes after "Thank Goodness".

    "A man's called a___________ -- or_____________"What are the missing words?Wicked

      traitor, liberator. I saw Joel Grey as the Wizard. For a guy his age, he still moves very well.

    "A rich man's a __________--or ______________" What are the missing words?Wicked

      thief, philanthropist. The whole concept of "spin" is illustrated in this song.

    "I'm Not That Girl" is sung at two different times in the show. Who sings it the second time?Wicked

      Glinda. At this point, she has changed her name from Galinda to Glinda, in honor of the disappearance of their Animal professor Dr. Dillamond.

    "Kiss me too ___________ Hold me too ___________ I need help believing You're with me tonight" What are the missing words?Wicked

      fiercely, tight. I think this is such a passionate song. More passionate then most love songs on Broadway get, without getting humorous.

    "Maybe I'm brainless Maybe I'm wise But you've got me seeing Through different eyes." When did Elphaba begin to make Fiyero see through different eyes?Wicked

      When he helped her free the lion cub from class. It's really cool the way Magurie tied "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" into the book. The way he also ties in the Scarecrow in by saying that Fiyero may have been turned into him. According to the book, he wasn't, but according to the play, he was.

    "Like a ______ pulled from _______ as it passes a _____" What are the missing words (in the correct order)?Wicked

      comet, orbit, sun. I hope that you enjoyed taking my quiz! If you haven't yet, read the book "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" by Gregory Maguire. It's not quite the same as the play, but I guarantee you will enjoy it!

    Is the main character named Elphaba?"Wicked" the Musical

      Yes. Elphaba was named after L. Frank Baum.

    What is Glinda's real name?"Wicked" the Musical

      Galinda. She changes her name from Galinda to Glinda.

    Who does Fiyero end up with?"Wicked" the Musical

      Elphaba. He left Glinda for Elphaba.

    Is Doctor Dillamond a sheep?"Wicked" the Musical

      No. He's a Goat.
