Synopsis:
The show begins with the end of the story, as Glinda coming down in a bubble giving the citizens of Oz the news of Elphaba's death (NO ONE MOURNS THE WICKED). We learn that Elphaba's was born the illegitimate daughter of a traveling salesman. Her skin was green because of a drink her mother purchased from her lover, who rejected the child because of her unusual complexion.
Glinda then takes us back in time, to her days at DEAR OLD SHIZ - where she first she met Elphaba. Galinda - as she was then known - is completely carefree, while Elphaba takes care of her crippled sister, Nessarose. Elphaba is a particularly unpopular student, mainly because of her green skin. However, one of the teachers, Madame Morrible, discovers that Elphaba has an amazing natural talent for magic and tells her that she has the potential to work alongside the wonderful Wizard of Oz if she buckles down and makes something of herself (THE WIZARD AND I). Galinda - whose only reason for attending Shiz was to attend Morrible's renowned sorcery program - is not accepted into the course, and she's shattered. Furthermore, a funny mixup sees Galinda and Elphaba - who by this time truly loathe each other - end up as roommates (WHAT IS THIS FEELING?).
