SCENE 1: NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED
"GOOD NEWS, SHE'S DEAD!" The Ozians sang in harmony since their enemy, the Wicked Witch of the North was dead
"THE WITCH OF THE NORTH IS DEAD!" The Ozians kept singing
"THE WICKEDEST WITCH THERE EVER WAS,
THE ENEMY OF ALL OF US HERE IN OZ, IS DEAD! GOOD NEWS! GOOD NEWS!" The Ozians sang
"Look, it's Elphaba!" Someone from the crowd said
Elphaba comes in floating in a giant bubble
"It's good to see me, isn't it?" Elphaba said and the Ozians agreed
"No need to respond, that was rhetorical" Elphaba said
"LET US BE GLAD,
LET US BE GRATEFUL,
LET US REJOICIFY THAT GOODNESS COULD SUBDUE" Elphaba sang
"THE WICKED WORKINGS OF YOU-KNOW-WHO!" Elphaba sang
"ISN'T IT NICE TO KNOW, THAT GOOD WILL CONQUER EVIL?" Elphaba asked-sang
"THE TRUTH WE ALL BELIEVE'LL BY AND BY, OUTLIVE A LIE, FOR YOU AND-" Elphaba sang but she was interrupted by an Ozian
"Elphaba!" The Ozian that interrupted her said
"Exactly how dead is she?" The same Ozian said
"Well, there has been much rumor and speculation... innuendo, outuendo" Elphaba said
"...But let me set the record straight. According to the Time Dragon Clock, the melting occurred at the 13th hour; a direct result of a bucket of water thrown by a female child. Yes, the Wicked Witch of the North is dead!" Elphaba said
The Ozians kept celebrating and singing "NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED!" an Ozian sang
"NO ONE CRIES THEY WON'T RETURN!" another Ozian sang
"NO ONE LAYS A LILY IN THEIR GRAVE!" The Ozians sang
"THROUGH THEIR LIVES OUR CHILDREN LEARN!" A Woman Ozian sang
"WHAT WE MISS WHEN WE MISBEHAVE!" The Ozians sang
"AND GOODNESS KNOWS, THE WICKED'S LIVES ARE LONELY" Elphaba sang
"GOODNESS KNOWS, THE WICKED DIE ALONE" Elphaba sang
"IT JUST SHOWS WHEN YOU'RE WICKED, YOU'RE LEFT ONLY ON YOUR OWN" Elphaba sang
The Ozians started singing again "YES, GOODNESS KNOWS"
"THE WICKED'S LIVES ARE LONELY" The Ozians sang
"GOODNESS KNOWS, THE WICKED CRY ALONE" The Ozians sang
"NOTHING GROWS FOR THE WICKED, THEY REAP ONLY WHAT THEY'VE SEW" The Ozians sang
"Elphaba, why does wickedness happen?" An Ozian asked
"That's a good question; one that many people find confusifying. Are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?. After all, she had a childhood,; she had a father, who just happened to be the governor of Gilikkin
A flashback happens
"I'm off to the assembly dear" The Wicked Witch of the North's father said
Back to reality
"She had a mother, as so many do..." Elphaba said
Back to the flashback
"How i hate to go and leave you lonely" The Wicked Witch of the North's father sang
"That's alright, it's only just one night" The Wicked Witch of the North's mother sang
"But know that you're here, in my heart, while i'm out of your sight!" The Wicked Witch of the North's father sang and with that he left
Back to reality
"And like all families, they had their secrets" Elphaba said
Back to flashback
A stranger enters the room
"Have another drink, my dark eyed beauty, i've got one more night left here in town" The Stranger sang while he was dancing with The Wicked Witch of the North's mother
"So have another drink of pink elixir and we'll have ourselves a little mixer, have another little swallow little lady and follow me down" The stranger sang
Back to reality
"And of course, from the moment she was born, she was... well... different!" Elphaba said
Back to flashback
"AHHH! it's coming!" The Midwife said
"Now?" The father said
"The baby's coming!" The midwife said
"And how!?" The father said
"I SEE A NOSE!" The midwife said
"I SEE A CURL!" The father said
"IT'S A HEALTHY, PERFECT, LOVELY LITTLE..." they said and then they screamed
"IT'S ATTROCIOUS!" The midwife said
"IT'S OBSCENE!" The father said
"LIKE A DEAD LION CUB, THE BABY IS UNNATURALLY... BLONDE!" They both said
"Take it away... Take it away!" The father said
Back to reality
"So you see, it couldn't have been easy" Elphaba said still in the bubble
"NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED!" The Munchkins sang
"NOW AT LAST, SHE'S DEAD AND GONE!" The Munchkins sang
"NOW AT LAST THERE'S JOY THROUGHOUT THE LAND!" Munchkins sang
"AND GOODNESS KNOWS (GOODNESS KNOWS)" The Munchkins sang (and Elphaba too)
"WE KNOW WHAT GOODNESS IS (OOOOHHHH)" The Munchkins sang (and Elphaba too)
"GOODNESS KNOWS, THE WICKED DIE ALONE (SHE DIED ALONE)" The Munchkins sang (and Elphaba too)
"WOE TO THOSE (WOE TO THOSE)" The Munchkins sang (and Elphaba too)
"WHO SPURN WHAT GOODNESSES THEY ARE SHOWN!" The Munchkins sang
"NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED (GOOD NEWS)" The Munchkins sang (and Elphaba too)
"NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED (GOOD NEWS)" The Munchkins sang (and Elphaba too)
"NO ONE MOURNS... THE WICKED..." Everyone sang-screamed
"WICKED..." Everyone sang-screamed
"WICKED!" Everyone sang-screamed
"Well, this has been fun!. But as you can imagine i have much to attend to, what with the Wizard's unexpected departure. So, if there are no further question..." Elphaba said
"Elphaba, is it true that you were her friend?" An Ozian said and the Ozians gasped
"Well, i... you see... um... yes." Elphaba said and the Ozians gasped louder
"Well, it depends on what you mean by "friend"" Elphaba said and she motioned her bubble downwards
"I did know. That is, our paths did cross... at school. But you must understand, it was a long time ago and we were both very young." Elphaba said
SCENE 2: DEAR OLD SHIZ
Finally! I'm here! Galinda Upland thought, as she walked up to Shiz, black reading glasses framing her face. Oz, this place was beautiful.
"Oh, hallowed halls and vine draped walls the proudliest sight there is,"
One of the kids looked at her, horrified. Were they all brunettes? Who cares! She was probably going to learn everything about everything here, it was going to be the best year of her life.
"When gray and sere our hair hath turned, we shall still revere the lessons learned. In our days at Dear Old Shiz. Our days at Dear old-"
Galinda saw a girl being rolled in a big cart full of suitcases. Was she.. Green? Oz, her skin was Beautiful! Why couldn't she be that pretty? It wasn't really fair.. But Galinda was sure that emerald goddess was going to be a complete idiot. At least she had a brain!
"Shizzzzzzzz!" They finished, and turned around glaring at Galinda. Oz, seriously? It's just hair! She thought.
"What?" Galinda asked. "What? What are you all looking at? Oh, Do I have something in my teeth?" They kept staring at her. "Ok, let's get this over with! No my head hasn't been burned, Yes I've always been blonde, no I didn't mess around with peroxide when I was young!" She snarled.
"Galinda!" A sharp voice called out, wheeling in a brunette girl.
"Oh, this is my younger sister, Amaryn. As you can see her hair is a perfectly normal color!" She spat out.
"Galinda! Stop making a spectacle of yourself! I'm only sending you here for one reason..." The Governor of Gilikkin said.
"Yes I know!" Galinda responded. "To look after Amaryn."
"My precious little girl!" The Governor doted, taking out a wooden box. "A parting gift." He opened it and Amaryn's eyes widened.
"Now father... A jeweled headband?" Amaryn said
"As befits the future Governor of Gilikkin. Galinda, take care of your sister!" He snapped the box closed and walked away. "And try not to talk so much." The blonde heard him mutter.
"Galinda..." Amaryn said, looking at her apologetically.
"Well, what could he have gotten me? My hair clashes with everything!" She said. A lady with too much makeup on, big hair, and a strange resemblance to a fish walked in.
"Welcome, new students! I am Madame Morrible, head Shiztress here at S*** University! And whether you're here to study logic, literature, or linguification, I know I speak for my fellow faculty members when I say we have nothing but the highest hopes!" She saw A flash of green. "For some of you. Now, regarding room assignments..."
Galinda raised her hand, and so did the Emerald girl, and that's who Morrible noticed first. "Yes, Is this regarding room assignments?" She asked, growing impatient.
"Oh, Madame, thank you for asking, but I've already been assigned a private suite!" She answered. Everyone looked at her disappointedly. "But you can all come visit me whenever you want!" She added.
"How good of you!" One of her brainless crones said.
"You are so good!" Another piped up.
"No I'm not!" She insisted, obviously thinking she was.
"Yes you are!" Galinda rolled her eyes, would they ever stop?
"Now stop!" The green girl answered, tossing her raven hair in a ridiculous manner.
Morrible sighed, looking annoyed. "Do you have a question?" She asked.
She nodded. "Yes, you see, I'm Elphaba Thropp." Seeing Morrible give her no response, she continued. "I've applied to your sorcery seminar, and indeed that is my sole purpose of attending S***; to study sorcery with you. Perhaps you recall my essay, 'Magic Wands, Need They Have A Point'." She finished.
Morrible looked at her. "Yes... However, I do not teach my seminar every semester, unless, of course, somebody special were to come along."
Elphaba smiled. "Well, exactly!" She said. Oz, she is so vain! Galinda thought. She walked up to Morrible.
"We have not yet received our room assignments." She said. Morrible, apparently not seeing her, walked over to Amaryn.
"Yes, yes, of course! Oh, You must be Miss Amaryn, the governor's daughter. What a tragically beautiful face you have!" She turned around, saw Galinda and nearly fainted. "And you must be..."
"I'm the other daughter. Galinda. I'm beautifully tragic." She said, drily.
"Yes, yes, I'm sure you're very bright." Morrible said, recovering.
"Bright?" Elphaba muttered to her friends, Shenshen and Pfanee. "Look at that hair! She's phosphorescent."
Morrible sighed, checking through a paper. "I don't seem to have you on my list. Oh, well a slight gulch, but not to fret! We'll find someplace to put you.
Elphaba scrunched up her nose and pouted. "Y'know, I don't even think she read my essay!" She said. An unusually tall (but still, very short) Munchkin boy walked up to her admiringly, his name was Boq.
"That's so unfair! You should say something!" He encouraged.
"Should I?" Elphaba wondered.
"Do it!" Shenshen agreed.
"Now, which one of you young ladies would like to volunteer to share with Miss Galinda?" Morrible asked. Everyone snickered and no one volunteered. Until Elphaba walked up, not really paying attention.
"Madame Morrible..." She asked with a smile on her face.
Morrible grinned. "Thank you dear. Oh, how very good of you!" She said.
"What?" Elphaba asked, confused.
Morrible connected their hands. "Miss Galinda, you may share with Miss Elphaba." She said. Both girls looked at each other, horrifyingly and they pulled away.
No, no, no! I can't have that ridiculous popular girl making this horrible for me! This is supposed to be the best year of my life! I can't have her ruining it! Galinda thought. She won't want to room with me anyways! She'll kick me out!
I hope...
