Wicked the Musical script

Scene 3

(Elphaba is left alone)

Elphaba sings: Did that really just happen? Have I actually understood? This weird quirk I've tried to suppress or hide. Is it 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 this Wizard is dumb? Or like Munchkins so small minded? No. He'll say to me I see who you truly are, a girl on whom I can realy. And that's how we'll begin, The Wizard and I. Once I'm with the Wizard my whole life will change. 'Cause 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 acclaimed. And this gift or this curse 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 "Elphaba, 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 absurd degree seem fixated on your verdigris. Would it be alright by you, if I degreenify you?" "And though 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 someday they'll be a celebration throughout Oz 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 Oz's favorite team. The Wizard and I!!!!
