Lyrics:
DR. DILLAMOND: (spoken)
Oh Miss Elphaba, the things one hears these days!

Dreadful things.

(sung)

I’ve heard of an Ox, a professor from Quox no longer permitted to teach

who has lost all powers of speech.

And an owly Munchkin lock

A vicar with a thriving flock, forbidden to preach

Now he only can screech!

Only rumors but still enough to give pause to anyone with paws,

Something bad, is happening in Oz

ELPHABA:

Something bad, happening in Oz?

DR. DILLAMOND:

Under the surface,

Behind the scenes,

Something Baaaaaaaad

(spoken)

Sorry, bad

ELPHABA:

Dr. Dillamond,

If something’s bad is happening to the Animals,

Someone has to tell the Wizard,

That’s why we have a Wizard.

(sung)

So nothing bad.

DR. DILLAMOND: (spoken)

I hope you’re right.

BOTH: (sung)

Nothing all that bad.

DR DILLAMOND:

Nothing truly,

Baaaaaaaaaad.

(spoken)

Sorry, bad.

ELPHABA:

It couldn’t happen here,

In Oz…

And altogether quite impossible to describe…

My pulse is rushing.

Elphaba:
My head is reeling

Galinda:
My face is flushing.

Both:
What is this feeling?
Fervid as a flame, does it have a name?
Yes. Loathing!
Unadulterated loathing!

Galinda:
For your face,

Elphaba:
Your voice,

Galinda:
Your clothing!

Both:
Let’s just say – I loathe it all!
Every little trait however small,
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl
With simple utter loathing!
There’s a strange exhilaration.

In such total detestation
It’s so pure, so strong!
Though I do admit, it came on fast,
Still I do believe that it can last.
And I will be loathing, loathing you my whole life long.

Shiz Students:
Dear Galinda, you are just too good!
How do you stand it, I don’t think I could.

She’s a Tartar,

Galinda:
Well, these things are sent to try us…

Shiz Students:
Poor Galinda, forced to reside
With someone so disgusticified,
We just want to tell you, we’re all on your side!
We share your

Wicked is the biggest and most talked about movie in theaters right now. Wicked, which just had the biggest ever opening weekend for a movie adaptation of a Broadway musical ($160 million + globally), is faithful to the stage musical in several ways, and significantly different in one major way. Adapted from the beloved Broadway musical, Wicked famously tells the story of witches Elphaba and Glinda and what exactly happened before the events of The Wizard of Oz.

Wicked Movie vs Wicked Musical on Stage:
How Elphaba and Fiyero first meet is different in the movie than it is in the Broadway stage production.

Some of the songs are slightly longer, such as Popular.

The movie is split in two parts — Part 1 has just opened; Part 2 is scheduled for a year from now — making the movie in effect twice as long as the stage musical.
