Finish These "Wicked" Lyrics Trivia Quiz

Answer: they have wickedness thrust upon them?

The opening number is so incredible. It's got Glinda flying in a bubble and the explanation of how Elphaba came to be. It'a good start!

Answer: no one thinks you're strange

I love how misundertood Elphaba is. All she wants to do is meet the wizard and be acknowleged for her ideas and talents, but she is judged because she is green. On the original cast album, this is a great song by the wonderful, talented, Idina Menzel (this is her first big song).

Answer: black is this year's pink

This is so funny, since during this scene and most of the play, Galinda is in pink! Galinda wanted to give this hat away because it was a gift and she hates it. She thinks that she doesn't hate anyone enough to give them the awful hat, then she sees Elphaba. Ironic how before the play is over, they're best friends.

Answer: less fortunate than I?

A little self-involved, no? This was perhaps the funniest scene in the play and the original, Kristen Chenoweth (who I saw) made it all the better with her cute ploys and squeaks. This song/scene is the first time when the two witches actually spark a friendship.

Answer: I'll never know!

"Defying Gravity" is quite possible the most beautiful song I've ever heard and the scene was the best first act finale I've ever witnessed. This song moves me to tears, so it must be that powerful.

Answer: at least I'm flying free

Again, beautiful lyrics for a beautiful song. The last verse of this song is both powerful and interesting. "Look to the western sky..." Gee, could that be how she becomes the Wicked Witch of the West! Idina Menzel just shines in the original cast album in this incredible song and verse.

Answer: the Glinda way!

Through dialog (not lyrics) in this song between Glinda and Fiyero, you can tell that Glinda is just putting on an act for public appeal; she really is worried about Elphaba, whom she knows is not evil. Glinda, unlike Elphaba, gives in to the Wizard's evil for public popularity.

But I must admit, the line is funny because when Glinda says "Let's have a celebration the GLINDA way..." she squeals it!

Answer: under your spell

Fiyero finally realizes his love for Elphaba and leaves Glinda. When the original Fiyero, Norbert Leo Butz, hurt his back, Idina Menzel's hubby, Taye Diggs, filled in. What a hot scene this must have been, hubby and wife doing a love song/scene!

Answer: my new creed!

It is clear that Elphaba is just trying to help, but she always seems to mess up, leading people to believe that she is wicked. By the end of this song, Elphaba convinces herself that she is wicked because she couldn't save Fiyero and everyone keeps telling her that's she's wicked. That sends an important message, don't believe what people tell you, be your own person!

Answer: we must learn

What a moving, beautiful song! I, along with the rest of the audience, was in tears while witnessing this song. It truly makes you think of people's impact on your life and your impact on others. This song as well as all the others in this incredible play sends a wonderful message that everyone can learn from and relate to.
