ACT 1
[Scene 1 - No One Mourns The Wicked
Titans:
GOOD NEWS, SHE'S DEAD!
THE TITAN OF THE WEST IS DEAD!
THE WICKEDEST TITAN THERE EVER WAS,
THE ENEMY OF ALL OF US HERE IN JUMP CITY,
IS DEAD! GOOD NEWS! GOOD NEWS!
Titan: Look, it's Terra!
Terra floats in on a giant rock
Terra: It's good to see me, isn't it? (Titans Agree) No need to respond that was rhetorical. Fellow Titans:
LET US BE GLAD,
LET US BE GRATEFUL,
LET US REJOICIFY THAT GOODNESS COULD SUBDUE
THE WICKED WORKINGS OF YOU KNOW WHO!
ISN'T IT NICE TO KNOW
THAT GOOD WILL CONQUER EVIL?
THE TRUTH WE ALL BELIEVE'LL BY AND BY
OUTLIVE A LIE
FOR YOU AND...
Titan: Terra! Exactly how dead is she?
Terra: Well, there has been much rumor and speculation... innuendo, outuendo... but let me set the record straight. According to the Metropolis City Clock, the melting occurred at the 13th hour; a direct result of a bucket of water thrown by a female child. Yes, the Wicked Titan of the West is dead!
Titan:
NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED!
Titan:
NO ONE CRIES THEY WON'T RETURN!
Titans:
NO ONE LAYS A LILY ON THEIR GRAVE!
Mento:
THE GOOD MAN SCORNS THE WICKED!
Elastigirl:
THROUGH THEIR LIVES OUR CHILDREN LEARN!
Titans:
WHAT WE MISS WHEN WE MISBEHAVE!
Terra:
AND GOODNESS KNOWS
THE WICKEDS' LIVES ARE LONELY
GOODNESS KNOWS
THE WICKED DIE ALONE
IT JUST SHOWS WHEN YOU'RE WICKED
YOU'RE LEFT ONLY
ON YOUR OWN
Titans:
YES, GOODNESS KNOWS
THE WICKEDS' LIVES ARE LONELY
GOODNESS KNOWS
THE WICKED CRY ALONE
NOTHING GROWS FOR THE WICKED
THEY REAP ONLY
WHAT THEY'VE SEWN
Titan: Terra, why does wickedness happen?
Terra: 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 happed to be the governor of Jump city Titan's Parents Enter.
Alphie: I'm off to the assembly, dear.
Terra: She had a mother, as so many do...
Alphie:
HOW I HATE TO GO AND LEAVE YOU LONELY
Arella:
THAT'S ALRIGH IT'S ONLY JUST ONE NIGHT
Alphie:
BUT KNOW THAT YOU'RE HERE, IN MY HEART
WHILE I'M OUT OF YOUR SIGHT!
Alphie Exits. A Lover Runs Into The Room.
Terra: And like all families, they had their secrets.
Lover:
HAVE ANOTHER DRINK, MY DARK EYED BEAUTY,
I'VE GOT ONE MORE NIGHT LEFT HERE IN TOWN,
SO HAVE ANOTHER DRINK OF GREY ELIXER
AND WE'LL HAVE OURSELVES A LITTLE MIXER
HAVE ANOTHER LITTLE SWALLOW LITTLE LADY,
AND FOLLOW ME DOWN
Terra: And of course, from the moment she was born she was... well... different!
Midwife: AHHH!! It's coming!
Alphie: Now?
Midwife: The baby's coming!
Alphie: And how!
Midwife:
I SEE A NOSE!
Alphie:
I SEE A CURL!
Both:
IT'S A HEALTHY, PERFECT, LOVELY LITTLE...
(They Scream)
Arella: What is it? What's wrong?
Midwife:
HOW CAN IT BE?
Alphie:
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Midwife:
IT'S ATTROCIOUS!
Alphie:
IT'S OBSCENE!
Both:
LIKE A BLACK AND WHITE NEWSPAPER
THE BABY IS UNATURALLY
GREY!!!
Alphie: Take it away... Take it away!!!!
Glinda: So you see, it couldn't have been easy!
Munchkins:
NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED!
NOW AT LAST, SHE'S DEAD AND GONE!
NOW AT LAST THERE'S JOY THROUGHOUT THE LAND!
AND GOODNESS KNOWS (GOODNESS KNOWS)
WE KNOW WHAT GOODNESS IS (OOOOHHHH)
GOODNESS KNOWS, THE WICKED DIE ALONE (SHE DIED ALONE)
WOE TO THOSE (WOE TO THOSE)
WHO SPURN WHAT GOODNESSES THEY ARE SHOWN!
NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED (GOOD NEWS)
NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED (GOOD NEWS)
NO ONE MOURNS... THE WICKED...
WICKED...
WICKED!!!!!
Terra: 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 questions...
Titan: Terra, is it true you were her friend?
Titans Gasp
Terra: Well, I... you see... um... yes.
Louder Gasps
Terra: Well, it depends on what you mean by "friend". She Motions Her Rock
Downward. I did know her. That is, our paths did cross... at school. But you must understand, it was a long time ago and we were both very young.
[Scene 2 - Dear Old Tower
Scene Fades As Titan Students Appear. Elphaba Enters With Them.
Students:
O, HALLOWED HALLS AND VINE DRAPED WALLS
THE PROUDLIEST SITE THERE IS.
WHEN GREY AND SEER OUR HAIR HATH TURNED,
WE SHALL STILL REVERE THE LESSONS LEARNED
IN OUR DAYS AT DEAR OLD TOWER (DEAR OLD TOWER)
OUR DAYS AT DEAR OLD...
Galinda Being Wheeled In On A Big Cart Filled With Luggage.
OOOOOOOOOOLD
All:
TOWERRRRRRRRRRR (DEAR OLD TOWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR)
Raven Wheels Jennessa On Stage.
Raven: What?! What are you looking at? Oh, do I have something in my teeth? Okay, let's get this over with. No, I'm not seasick, yes, I've always been grey, no, I didn't eat paste as a child.
Alphie: Raven!
Raven: Oh, this is my younger sister, Jennessa. As you can see, she is a perfectly normal color.
Alphie: Raven stop making a spectacle of yourself! I'm only sending you here for one reason...
Raven: Yes, I know, to look after Jennessa.
Alphie Holds Out A Box.
Alphie: My precious little girl: a parting gift.
Jennessa: Now, father... He Pulls Silver Shoes From The Box. Jeweled shoes!
Alphie: As befits the future governor of Munchkinland. Raven take care of your sister. And try not to talk so much! He Kisses Jennessa And Exits.
Jennessa: Raven...
Raven: Well what could he have gotten me? I clash with everything!
Master Slade Enters
Slade: Welcome, new students! I am Master Slade, headmaster here, at Titans University. And whether you're here to study weapons, powers, or linguification, I know I speak for my fellow faculty members when I say we have nothing but the highest hopes for some of you. Now, regarding room assignments... Raven & Terra Raise Their Hands. She Notices Terra First. Yes, is this regarding room assignments?
Terra: Oh, Master, thank you for asking, but I've already been assigned a private suite... Noticing Her Followers' Disappointment. But you can all come visit me whenever you want!
Starfire: How good of you!
Kole: You are so good!
Terra: No I'm not!
Both: Yes you are!
Terra: Now stop! Swishes Her Hair.
Morrible: Do you have a question?
Terra: Yes, you see, I am Terra Markov of the Markovia... I've applied to your sorcery seminar, and indeed that is my sole purpose of attending Titan ; to study sorcery with you. Perhaps you recall my essay, "Magic Wands , Need They Have A Point".
Slade: Yes... However, I do not teach my seminar every semester, unless, of course, somebody special were to come along.
Terra: Well, exactly!
Raven: We have not yet received our room assignments.
Slade: Yes, yes, of course! Oh, You must be Miss Jennessa, the governor's daughter. What a tragically beautiful face you have! Sees Raven, snorts...And you must be.
Raven: I'm the other daughter. Raven. I'm beautifully tragic.
Slade: Yes, yes, I'm sure you're very bright.
Terra: Bright? She's phosphorescent.
Slade: 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.
Terra: Y'know, I don't even think he read my essay.
Starfire: That's so unfair!
Wally: You should say something!
Terra: Should I?
Kole: Do it!
Slade: Now, which one of you young ladies would like to volunteer to share with Miss Raven?
Terra: Master Slade...
Slade: Thank you dear. Oh, how very good of you!
Terra: What?
Slade: Miss Raven, you may share with Miss Terra.
Terra: Huh?
Slade: The governor made his concern for your sister's well being quite clear. So, I thought it would be best if she share my private compartment where I can assist her as needed...
Raven: But Master, I've always looked after my sister.
Slade: Everyone, to your dormitories.
Raven: But Master... Let her go!!!
Jennessa's Wheelchair Is Torn From Slade's Hands And Begins To Wheel Itself Back To Raven.
Slade: How did you do that?
Terra: How did she do that?
Nessarose: Raven!
Slade: You mean this has happened before?
Raven: Uh... Something just comes over me sometimes... I'm sorry, Master.
Slade: What? Never apologize for talent! Talent is a gift! Have you ever considered a career in sorcery?
Raven: Sorcery?
Slade: I shall tutor you myself, and take no other students.
Terra: What?
All Students But Terra Exit.
Slade: Oh, Miss Elphaba...
MANY YEARS I HAVE WAITED
FOR A GIFT LIKE YOURS TO APPEAR
WHY I PREDICT THE WIZARD COULD MAKE YOU HIS
MAGIC, GRAND VIZIER!
MY DEAR, MY DEAR,
I'LL WRITE AT ONCE TO THE WIZARD
TELL HIM OF YOU IN ADVANCE
WITH A TALENT LIKE YOURS, DEAR, THERE IS
A DEFIN-ISH CHANCE
IF YOU WORK AS YOU SHOULD
YOU'LL BE MAKING GOOD
Terra: Master Slade
Morrible: No, not now dearest. He Exits.
Terra: This will just make me a better person. She simles.
She Runs Off.
[Scene 3 - The Wizard & I
Raven:
DID THAT REALLY JUST HAPPEN?
HAVE I ACTUALLY UNDERSTOOD?
THIS WEIRD QUIRK I'VE TRIED TO SURPRESS OR HIDE
IS A TALENT THAT COULD HELP ME MEET THE WIZARD
IF I MAKE GOOD
SO I'LL MAKE GOOD.
WHEN I MEET THE WIZARD,
ONCE I PROVE MY WORTH,
AND THEN I MEET THE WIZARD,
WHAT I'VE WAITED FOR SINCE
SINCE BIRTH!
AND WITH ALL HIS WIZARD WISDOM
BY MY LOOKS HE WON'T BE BLINDED
DO YOU THINK THE WIZARD IS DUMB?
OR LIKE FLASHS SO SMALL-MINDED? NO!
HE'LL SAY TO ME "I SEE WHO YOU TRULY ARE,
A GIRL ON WHOM I CAN RELY"
AND THAT'S HOW WE'LL BEGIN,
THE WIZARD AND I
ONCE I'M WITH THE WIZARD,
MY WHOLE LIFE WILL CHANGE,
'CUZ ONCE YOU'RE WITH THE WIZARD
NO ONE THINKS YOU'RE STRANGE
NO FATHER IS NOT PROUD OF YOU,
NO SISTER ACTS ASHAMED,
AND ALL OF OZ HAS TO LOVE YOU
WHEN BY THE WIZARD YOU'RE ACLAIMED
AND THIS GIFT OR THIS CURSE
THAT I HAVE INSIDE
MAYBE AT LAST I'LL KNOW WHY
WHEN WE ARE HAND IN HAND,
THE WIZARD AND I
AND ONE DAY HE'LL SAY TO ME, "RAVEN
A GIRL WHO IS SO SUPERIOR,
SHOULDN'T A GIRL WHO'S SO GOOD INSIDE
HAVE A MATCHING EXTERIOR?
AND SINCE FOLKS HERE TO AN OBSURED DEGREE
SEEM FIXATED ON YOUR VERDEGRIS
WOULD IT BE ALRIGHT BY YOU
IF I DEGREYIFY YOU?"
AND OF COURSE THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT TO ME
"ALRIGHT! WHY NOT?" I'LL REPLY
OH, WHAT A PAIR WE'LL BE
THE WIZARD AND I
YES, WHAT A PAIR WE'LL BE
THE WIZARD AND...
UNLIMITED, MY FUTURE IS UNLIMITED
AND I'VE JUST HAD A VISION ALMOST LIKE A PROPHECY
I KNOW
IT SOUNDS TRULY CRAZY
AND TRUE, THE VISION'S HAZY
BUT I SWEAR SOME DAY THERE'LL BE
A CELEBRATION THROUGHOUT JUMP CITY
THAT'S ALL TO DO
WITH ME!
AND I'LL STAND THERE WITH THE WIZARD
FEELING THINGS I'VE NEVER FELT
AND THOUGH I'D NEVER SHOW IT
I'D BE SO HAPPY I COULD MELT!
AND SO IT WILL BE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
AND I'LL WANT NOTHING ELSE 'TILL I DIE
HELD IN SUCH HIGH ESTEEM!
WHEN PEOPLE SEE ME THEY WILL SCREAM
FOR HALF OF JUMP CITY'S FAVORITE TEAM:
THE WIZARD...
AND I!!!!
