Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the reptilian figure on the top of the stage supposed to represent?

Answer: The Clock of the Time Dragon

The Time Dragon's Clock is mentioned a few times throughout the play, the first of which is when Glinda reassures the people of Oz that the Witch is indeed dead. "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."

2. What is the name of Fiyero's family's castle which he instructs Elphaba to hide out in?

Answer: Kiamo Ko

"It worked!"

*giggle giggle*

3. Which of these is NOT an "Oz-ified" word used in the play?

Answer: congratumalations

In the "Thank Goodness" scene, the citizens of Oz have a sign that says "Congratulotions," not "congratumalations."

4. Which of these speculations about Elphaba were NOT said?

Answer: She never rests her plots, but always remains awake

On the soundtrack, these lines happen in "Thank Goodness." In the play, however, they are part of "No One Mourns the Wicked (reprise)."

Stephen Schwartz wrote the music and lyrics.

Answer: a green glass bottle

"I've only seen a little, green bottle like this one other time...."

Formerly the Uris, it opened as the Gershwin Theatre in 1983. The Gershwin Theater is home to the Theatre Hall of Fame.

Desperate for a way to get out, Elphaba tried the levitation spell on her broom, and it worked.

When Elphaba comes to mourn for her sister where the house fell on Nessa, guards surround her. Fiyero physically threatens Glinda so the guards won't harm his beloved.

13. What is Elphaba's "new creed"?

Answer: No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

"Let all Oz be agreed -

Will I attempt to do again
Ever again!
No good deed will I do again!"

14. Who is the first person who calls Elphaba a wicked witch?

Answer: Madame Morrible

When Elphaba and Glinda are hiding out in the tower after fleeing from the Wizard, Madame Morrible makes an announcement that "She's evil. Responsible for the mutilation of these poor, innocent monkeys! Her green skin is but an outward manifestation of her twisted nature! This distortion... this repulsion... this... Wicked Witch!"

15. The Wizard tells Elphaba that "helping you with your ascent allows me to feel so...." So what?

A sentimental man!"
