How much do you know about Wicked? | Quiz

Answer: a bubble

Galinda's first entrance is made on a bubble suspended from the ceiling of the stage. Later in the show during a row we discover that this is a sore point between Elphaba and Galinda when Elphaba retorts 'well not everyone can come and go on a bubble!'

Answer: Shiz

As Galinda begins to reminisce about their early years on the path to friendship we are introduced to the school through the song 'Dear Old Shiz'.

Answer: a Goat

Doctor Dillamond is a Goat (talking animals are denoted with a capitalised name in the original book) who is ousted from his position as history teacher at Shiz by an underhand campaign to stop animals talking. He makes his plight known to Elphaba in the song 'Something Bad', which also mentions an Owl and a Fox who have been forced to stop speaking. Of course, the Lion is the cowardly animal we expect to find associated with Oz.

Answer: Nessarose

During the song 'Dancing Through Life' Galinda sees Nessarose as the perfect way to be rid of Boq, the Munchkin who has been pestering her to dance with him at the forthcoming ball. Nessa is so happy to think she has found someone to spend her life with she won't let Boq leave her, and enslaves him in her service when she becomes governor of Munchkinland.

Answer: True

Doctor Dillamond could never pronounce 'Galinda' properly, he could only ever say 'Glinda', so when he is forced from the school, Galinda changes her name in his honour.

Answer: false

Glinda hosts a large press conference where she announces their engagement, surprising poor Fiyero who found out about it along with the rest of the crowd! This takes place during the song 'Thank Goodness'.

Answer: green

The green elixir is the same one that Elphaba's mother drank when she became pregnant, that turned Elphaba green.

Answer: a cyclone

The cyclone that Madame Morrible creates causes the house to fall onto Nessa (as we are familiar with from the original "Wizard of Oz" story), leaving her red shoes poking out for Dorothy to take.

Answer: a scarecrow

Elphaba casts a spell to stop the Ozian guards hurting or killing Fiyero, and this causes him to become a scarecrow so nothing can hurt him. Boq becomes the tin man after Elphaba tries to reverse the spell cast on him by Nessarose.

Answer: yes

Elphaba longs to tell Glinda that she and Fiyero are alive, but they can only be safe as long as everyone thinks them to be dead. This means the two best friends can never see each other again and Glinda must live the rest of her life without ever knowing the truth.
