So have another drink of green elixir
And we'll have ourselves a little mixer
Have another little swallow, little lady,

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

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

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
