Wicked--the musical

[carnation]

Okay! SPOILERS BELOW:




At the end when Elphaba came back--the head of the guy in front of me was blocking my view but it seemed like Fiyero came sliding in to the floor and was going through the spell book and all of a sudden, there was Elphaba. Was she coming back up out of the floor in a reverse of the Wizard of Oz?

Did they say that the Wizard was her father?

Did the goat-professor ever come back into the play after we saw him as a winged monkey?

I had so many last night but it was so late; when I get my head together, I'll remember more.

Yes. FWIW, this is a change from the book. In the book, Dororthy, who actually came to apologize for klling Elphaba's sister, does indeed melt Elphaba. The book ends with:

"And there the wicked old Witch stayed for a good long time."
"And did she ever come out?"
"Not yet."

Did they say that the Wizard was her father?

Yep.

Did the goat-professor ever come back into the play after we saw him as a winged monkey?

Not that I recall, but I may be mis-remembering.

Dr. Dillamond didn't turn into a Winkie. He just lost his ability to speak (which is why the Wizard kept him hidden). And no, we didn't see him again.

You're right. The wizard kept Dr. Dillimond among the winged monkeys didn't he? Elphaba sees him after singing "Wonderful" with the wizard. Perhaps that's why carnation had him as a winged monkey.

And it was initially the wizard's monkey Chistery that Elphaba gave wings.
