Wicked Broad Way Musical Page #6

Elphaba:

AND THERE WE'LL FINALLY BE

THE WIZARD AND I...

The Scene Reopens At A Train Station.

Conductor:
All aboard!

Galinda:
Remember, eye contact. And don't forget to tell him how wonderful he is, Wizards love that! And be yourself... well... within reason.

Boq Wheels Nessarose Onstage.

Nessarose:
Elphaba, I'm so proud of you and I know father would be too. We're all proud, aren't we?

Elphaba:
You'll be alright, won't you?

Galinda:
She'll be fine! Biq will take care of her, right?

Boq:
...It's Boq... I... I can't do this anymore.

He Exits.

Nessarose:
Boq...

Galinda:
Nessa, maybe he's just not the right one... for you.

Nessarose:
No, it's me that's not right. Elphaba, just go, I'll be fine.

She Wheels Herself Offstage.

Elphaba:
Nessa, wait!

Galinda:
Let her go. She'll have to manage without you. We all will.

Elphaba:
Please, you'll barely even notice I'm gone. Besides, you have Fiyero. Where is he, anyway? Not that I expected him to say goodbye to me. We barely know each other.

Galinda:
I don't know him either. He's distant, and moodified, and he's been thinking, which really worrries me. I never knew how much he card about that old goat.

Fiyero Enters.

Galinda:
Oh, there he is! Fiyero, over here dearest!

Fiyero:
He Hands Elphaba Flowers. Elphaba, I'm happy for you.

Galinda:
Yes, we are both so happy...

Fiyero:
Uh, listen, I've been thinking...

Elphaba:
Yes, I've heard.

Fiyero:
About that Lion cub and... everything. I think about that day a lot.

Elphaba:
Really? So do I.

Galinda:
Me too! Poor Doctor Dillamond. It makes one want to... uh...

take a stand. So I've been thinking of... uh... changing my name.

Fiyero:
Your name?

Galinda:
Well, yes! Since Doctor Dillamond had his own way of pronouncing my name,

in solidarity and to express my outrage, I will henceforward be known no longer as Galinda, but as simply, Glinda.

Fiyero:
Oh well, that's very admirable of you... Glinda. To Elphaba. Elphaba, good luck.

He Runs Off.

Glinda:
There, see?

Elphaba:
Galinda...

Glinda:
It's Glinda now. Stupid idea, I don't even know what made me say it.

Elphaba:
It doesn't matter what your name is, everyone loves you!

Glinda:
I don't care! I want him. I don't even think he's perfect anymore and I still want him.

This must be what other people feel like. How do they bear it? They embrace.

Wizard:
I am Oz, the great and terrible! Who are you and why do you seek me?

Glinda:
Say something!

Elphaba:
Uh... Elphaba Thropp your terribleness!

His Speaks Normally.

Wizard:
Oh? Is that you Elphaba? I didn't realize!

He Climbs Out Of The Head.

Wizard:
I hope I didn't startle you, it's so hard to make out peoples' faces all the way back there.

So, let's see... which is which? Elphaba! He grabs her hands. And you must be.

Glinda:
Glinda. The Ga is silent.

Elphaba touches the Oz mask.

Wizard:
I know. It isn't much, is it? But people expect this sort of thing. You have to give people what they want.

The thing is, I hardly ever let people meet the real me, but this being special occasion.

Elphaba:
I'm so happy to meet you.

Wizard:
Well, that's good. 'Cause that's what I love best: making people happy!

I AM A SENTIMENTAL MAN

WHO ALWAYS LONGED TO BE A FATHER

THAT'S WHY I DO THE BEST I CAN

TO TREAT EACH CITIZEN OF OZ AS SON

OR DAUGHTER:

SO ELPHABA I'D LIKE TO RAISE YOU HIGH

'CUZ I THINK EVERYONE DESERVES THE CHANCE TO FLY!

AND HELPING YOU WITH YOUR ASCENT

ALLOWS ME TO FEEL SO PARENTAL.

FOR I AM:

A SENTIMENTAL MAN!

Elphaba:
I'm here... we're here to alert you that something bad is happening...

Wizard:
Please, I'm the Wizard of Oz. I already know why you've come.

Elphaba & Glinda: Oooo.

Wizard:
Of course, you must prove yourself...

Glinda:
Prove yourself, prove yourself.

Elphaba:
But how?

Wizard:
Oh, I don't know.

SOME SORT OF GESTURE

MOSTLY FOR SHOW:

SOMETHING TO TEST YOUR ADEPTNESS..

I know! Madame, the book!

Morrible Enters.

Glinda:
Madame Morrible...

Wizard:
I believe you're well acquainted with my new Press Secretary.

Elphaba:
Press Secretary?

Morrible:
Oh, yes dearies, I've risen up in the world. You'll find that the Wizard is a very generous man.

If you do something for him, he'll do much for you.

Elphaba:
What do yhou want me to do?

Wizard:
Well, this is my monkey servent, Chistery. He looks so longingly at the birds every morning....

Morrible:
So the Wizard was thinking, perhaps, a levitation spell...

Glinda:
Noticing A Book In Morrible's Hands. Is that the Grimmerie?

Morrible:
Yes, the ancient book of spells and enchantments. Hands It To Elphaba.

Glinda:
Whispers. Can I touch it?

Morrlbe:
Whispers. No!

Elphaba:
What funny writing...

Morrible:
Well it's a lost language. The lost language of spells.

Wizard:
It's kind of a recipe book for change.

Morrible:
Don't be discouraged if you can't decipherate it, dearie.

I, myself, can only read a spell or two, and that took years and years

Elphaba:

AHVEN, TATEY, AVEN TATEY AVEN...

Wizard:
She Continues Chanting. Oh, Chistery, what a experience you are about to have!

Elphaba:
.................................. AH MAY AH TAY ATUM

Wizard:
SINCE ONCE I HAVE MY OWN DAY IN THE SKY...

Elphaba:
AH MAY AH TAH TAY MAY TU SE SAY TA!

Wizard:
I KNOW EVERYONE DESERVES THE CHANCE TO FLY!

Chistery Screams & Begins To Twitch.

Elphaba:
What happened? Is something wrong?

Morrible:
No just a transition, dearie.

Elphaba:
No, stop you're hurting him!

Wizard:
She's actually done it!

Chistery Sprouts Wings. And Begins Running Around The Stage.

Elphaba:
NO! Quick, how do I reverse it?

Morrible:
You can't!

Elphaba:
What?!

Morrible:
You can't! Spells are irreversible! I knew she had the power, I told you!

Elphaba:
You planned all this?

Morrible:
Well, you benefit too, dearie! You benefit, too.

Wizard:
And this is only the beginning! Look.

The Other Monkeys Begin To Grow Wings And Fly.

Morrible:
Won't they make perfect spies?

Elphaba:
Spies?!

Wizard:
You're right, that's a harsh word... how about scouts? That's what they'll be really. They'll fly around Oz! Report any subversive Animal activity.

Elphaba:
You can't read this book at all! Can you? That's why you need enemies, and cages, and spies. You have no real power.

Wizard:
Exactly... that's why I need you. Don't you see? The world is your oyster, now! You have so many...opportunites. You both do.

Glinda:
Thank you, your Ozness.

Wizard:

SINCE ONCE I HAD MY OWN DAY IN THE SKY

I KNOW EVERYONE DESERVES THE CHANCE TO...

Elphaba:
NO!

She Runs Off.

Morrible:
Elphaba!

Glinda:
Elphie! I am so sorry, your Wizardship. I'll fetch her back! Elphie wait!

She Runs After Her.

Wizard:
We must get her back. She knows too much.

Morrible:
Don't worry! I will handle it.

He Gets Back In The Head. Speaking, Again, With A Powerful Voice.

Wizard:
Guards, guards! There is a fugitive loose in the palace! Find her, capture her, and bring her to me!

Guards:
Yes your Ozness!
