[CITIZENS OF OZ]
Good news
She's dead
The Witch of the West is dead
The wickedest witch there ever was
The enemy of all of us here in Oz is dead
Good news
Good news
[GLINDA]
Let us be glad
Look! It's Glinda
[GLINDA]
Let us be grateful
Let us rejoicify that goodness could subdue
The wicked workings of you-know-who
[GLINDA]
It's good to see me, isn't it?
Fellow Ozians, let me set the record straight
Yes, the Wicked Witch of the West is dead
[GLINDA]
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
[SOMEONE IN THE CROWD]
No one mourns the Wicked
[ANOTHER PERSON]
No one cries, "They won't return"
[Ensemble]
No one lays a lily on their grave
[MAN]
The good man scorns the Wicked
[WOMEN]
Through their lives, our children learn
What we miss
When we misbehave
[GLINDA]
And goodness knows
The Wicked's lives are lonely
Goodness knows
The Wicked die alone
It just shows, when you're wicked
You're left only on your own
Yes, goodness knows
The Wicked's lives are lonely
Goodness knows
The Wicked cry alone
Nothing grows for the wicked
They reap only what they've sown
[CHILD IN THE CROWD]
But, Miss Glinda
[GLINDA]
Yes?
[CHILD IN THE CROWD]
Why does Wickedness happen?
[GLINDA]
That's a good question, one many people find confusifying
Are people born Wicked?
Or do they have Wickedness thrust upon them?
After all, the Wicked Witch had a childhood
She had a father, who by the way, had been appointed Governor of Munchkinland
[FREXSPAR]
I'm off to the assembly, dear
[GLINDA]
She had a mother, as so many do
[FREXSPAR]
How I hate to go and leave you lonely
[MELENA]
That's alright, it's only just one night
[FREXSPAR]
But know that you're here in my heart when I'm out of your sight
[GLINDA]
Like every family, they had their secrets
[MELENA]
Uh
Ah
[LOVER]
Have another drink, my dark eyed beauty
I've got one more night left here in town
So have another drink of green elixir
And we'll have ourselves a little mixer
Have another little swallow, little lady
And follow me down
[GLINDA]
And one thing led to another, as it so often does
And of course, from the moment she was born, she was, well, different
[MIDWIFE]
It's coming
[FREXSPAR]
Now?
[MIDWIFE]
The baby's coming
[FREXSPAR]
And how
[MIDWIFE]
I see a nose
[FREXSPAR]
I see a curl
[FREXSPAR & MIDWIFE]
It's a healthy, perfect
Lovely, little
[FREXSPAR]
Sweet Oz
[MELENA]
What is it? What's wrong?
[MIDWIFE]
How can it be?
[FREXSPAR]
What does it mean?
[MIDWIFE]
It's uncanny
[FREXSPAR]
It's obscene
[MIDWIFE & FREXSPAR]
Like a froggy, ferny cabbage
The baby is unnaturally
Green
[FREXSPAR]
Take it away, take it away
[DULCIBEAR]
It's all right, little one, I'll look after you
[GLINDA]
So her nanny, Dulcibear, raised her
And as she grew, so did her challenges
[FREXSPAR]
Dulcibear
[DULCIBEAR]
Coming, Governor
[FREXSPAR]
Little one, watch your baby sister, just a clock tick
[YOUNG ELPHABA]
Oh, Nessarose, don't you why, I'm here
Now, you wanna see something amazin?
[YOUNG NESSAROSE]
Yeah
[YOUNG ELPHABA]
This is all about our wonderful Wizard of Oz
Do you know how he got here?
[YOUNG NESSAROSE]
No
[YOUNG ELPHABA]
From te sky, in a balloon, see?
Then he built a city made of emerald 'cause he loves emerald
Even though they're green
And, Nessa, you wanna know a secret?
If you get to meet him, he grants your hearts desires
[CHILDREN]
Elphaba Thropp
Reading at the top
Someone gonna tell her
That everyone could smell her?
[CHILDREN]
Where did you come from?
She's so green
[ELPHABA]
Stop
[FREXSPAR]
Elphaba
Elphaba Thropp, what have you done this time?
Oh, that's okay my baby
Let's get your a piece of candy
And now, you've made your sister cry
[DULCIBEAR]
It's all right, little one, he shouldn't have blamed you
[ELPHABA]
Dulcibear?
[GLINDA]
And so, it couldn't have been easy
[GLINDA]
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 (And Goodness knows)
We know what Goodness is (And Goodness knows)
Goodness knows
The Wicked die alone
[GLINDA]
She died alone
Woe to those (Woe to those)
Who spurn what Goodnesses
They are shown
No one mourns the Wicked
[GLINDA]
Good news
[CROWD]
No one mourns the Wicked
[GLINDA]
Good news
No one mourns the Wicked
Wicked
Wicked
