這是前幾年在美國超紅的音樂劇 The Wicked
又稱為綠野仙蹤前傳

(所以看這部劇之前最好先複習一下綠野仙蹤)
在2004年的東尼獎獲得「最佳音樂劇」、「最佳音樂劇詞曲」、「最佳音樂劇腳本」、「最佳音樂劇女主角」等十項大獎的提名。
音樂劇"Wicked"的故事即發生在桃樂絲出現之前的歐茲王國(Oz)，
好巫婆跟壞巫婆其實曾經是魔法學校的室友，
重點是，壞巫婆真的很壞嗎？
好巫婆真的就那麼善良嗎？
在"Wicked"裡頭，所謂"好"或"壞"的世俗判準被顛覆了，
好巫婆是個巧於辭令社交的金髮女孩，
而壞巫婆則是個才華洋溢有抱負的女孩，卻因天生的綠皮膚而備受歧視。
究竟是怎麼樣的遭遇，讓壞巫婆變得徹底的"邪惡"呢？
在看過"Wicked"之後，我們或許就能夠了解了。
其中一首歌 - Defying Gravity
GLINDA
(spoken) Elphaba - why couldn’t you have stayed calm for
once, instead of flying off the handle!
(sung) I hope you’re happy!
I hope you’re happy now
I hope you’re happy how you
Hurt your cause forever
I hope you think you’re clever!
ELPHABA
I hope you’re happy
I hope you’re happy, too
I hope you’re proud how you
Would grovel in submission
To feed your own ambition
BOTH
So though I can’t imagine how
I hope you’re happy right now
GLINDA
(spoken) Elphie, listen to me. Just say you’re sorry:
(sung) You can still be with the Wizard
What you’ve worked and waited for
You can have all you ever wanted:
ELPHABA
(spoken) I know:
(sung) But I don’t want it -
No - I can’t want it
Anymore:
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I’m through with playing by the rules
Of someone else’s game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!
It’s time to try
Defying gravity
I think I’ll try
Defying gravity
And you can’t pull me down!
GLINDA
Can’t I make you understand?
You’re having delusions of grandeur:
ELPHABA
I’m through accepting limits
’Cuz someone says they’re so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I’ll never know!
Too long I’ve been afraid of
Losing love I guess I’ve lost
Well, if that’s love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I’d sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I’m defying gravity
And you can’t pull me down:
(spoken) Glinda - come with me. Think of what we could
do: together.
(sung) Unlimited
Together we’re unlimited
Together we’ll be the greatest team
There’s ever been
Glinda -
Dreams, the way we planned ’em
GLINDA
If we work in tandem:
BOTH
There’s no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity
ELPHABA
They’ll never bring us down!
(spoken) Well? Are you coming?
GLINDA
I hope you’re happy
Now that you’re choosing this
ELPHABA
(spoken) You too
(sung) I hope it brings you bliss
BOTH
I really hope you get it
And you don’t live to regret it
I hope you’re happy in the end
I hope you’re happy, my friend:
ELPHABASo if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev’ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I’m flying solo
At least I’m flying free
To those who’d ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I’m flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I’ll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!
GLINDA
I hope you’re happy!
CITIZENS OF OZ
Look at her, she’s wicked!
Get her!
ELPHABA
:Bring me down!
CITIZENS OF OZ
No one mourns the wicked
So we’ve got to bring her
ELPHABA
Ahhh!
CITIZENS OF OZ
Down!
