Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who is/are the first character(s) seen in the original Broadway production of the musical?

Answer: The Flying Monkeys

The Monkeys swing out and across the stage and set on ropes. They then climb over the complex "gear shaped" sets, shrieking. This occurs before the curtain comes up.
2. What kind of Animal is the Midwife who delivers Elphaba?

Answer: Antelope

The Midwife is shocked, because Elphaba comes out green! The witch's mother is usually the dance captain, and the mother's lover is usually danced by the actor who plays Fiyero! Elphaba's father is shocked and appalled by Elphaba's appearance; this parental disgust stays with her for the rest of her life.
3. Elphaba's father is the General of Munchkinland.

Answer: False

Elphaba's father is the Governor of Munchkinland, although he himself is not a Munchkin. In the book, the Munchkins were oppressed by Elphaba's father, and later by Nessarose.
4. What does Elphaba and Nessarose's father give Nessa before she leaves for school (in the MUSICAL)?

Answer: A pair of silver slippers.

Although in the movie "The Wizard of Oz" the slippers that the Witch wants desperately are ruby red, in Frank Baum's book "The Wizard of Oz", in Gregory Maguire's "Wicked" and in the Broadway musical, the slippers are actually silver.
5. Fill in the blank: "Oh hallowed halls and _________ walls"

Answer: vine-draped

The students were singing about their school, Shiz. This is where most of the first act occurs, except the very beginning and towards the end.
6. What does Fiyero do with his coachman when he is dropped off at school?

Answer: Performs a complex secret handshake

Fiyero seems to be good friends with his coachman. But then again, Fiyero seems to be good friends with everyone.
7. Fill in the blank: "Or like munchkins so small minded, no, he'll say to me I see who you truly are, _______ on whom I can rely!"

Answer: a girl

When Elphaba is seen as a truly exceptional sorcerer, she is told that the Wizard of Oz may be interested in hiring her! In "The Wizard and I", we see a little more of Elphaba's dreams. She believes that the Wizard will help her to be accepted.
8. When Galinda foists off an ugly hat on her roommate, Elphaba, Elphie loves the gift and convinces Madame Morrible to take Galinda on as a sorcery student, something for which she was previously turned down. What is the token that Elphaba gives Galinda, signaling that she has been accepted?

Answer: A wand

Galinda feels so guilty that, when Elphaba is shunned at the party in "Dancing through Life", she dances with her. They become friends, which is a keystone for the rest of the play.
9. Does Galinda fix Elphie's hair and clothes during "Popular" by doing magic?

Answer: No

Galinda (as we recall) has little to no magical talent. She tries unsuccessfully to fix Elphie's clothes by magic, but fails. She hits her wand, wonders "Is this thing on?" and throws it off stage.
10. Who is walking on the bridge just before "I'm Not That Girl"?

Answer: Fiyero and Galinda

Fiyero and Galinda walk over, talking and laughing. Elphaba, under the bridge, sees them and sings "I'm Not That Girl".
11. What does Elphaba receive after "I'm Not That Girl", and who brings it to her?

Answer: A letter, Madame Morrible.

Madame Morrible brings Elphaba a letter from the Wizard of Oz, saying that he wishes to see her. Elphaba knows this has to do with her exceptional magical gift. After realizing that Fiyero will never love her because he loves Galinda (who in an attempt to impress Fiyero with her dedication to the freeing of the Animals changes her name to Glinda, what Dr. Dillamond, their goat teacher, always called her), she decides to let Glinda come with her to Oz.
12. What is Glinda's first line in "One Short Day"?

Answer: Dress Salons!

Elphaba invites Glinda along to the Emerald city with her, to see the Wizard. They have a day of sight-seeing before their "wizardly audience".
13. When Elphaba sees the Wizard, what does he give her?

Answer: The Grimmerie

The Grimmerie is a book of spells written in a mysterious, lost language. Elphaba is able to read and understand the language. No one knows why this is, as no one has ever been able to do this before.
14. In "Defying Gravity", does Elphaba hear someone who is not in the attic room with her and Glinda?

Answer: Yes

Elphaba hears Madame Morrible speaking to the citizens of Oz, telling them how Elphaba is Wicked. This upsets both Glinda and Elphaba, but Elphaba steels herself and decides to escape.
15. What is Elphaba's last line of the first act?

Answer: No wizard that there is or was is ever gonna bring me down!

Elphaba enchants a broom to fly her away from the Wizard's palace. In "Defying Gravity", she bids Glinda farewell and defies the Wizard, flying off into the "Western Sky".
