The Wizard and I Lyrics - Wicked

[@abialston8476]

when you finally nail this song after tons of practice :)

[@dragonfire2205]

well done not easy to do

[@marthagrande0761]

Audra oh same!! I managed it by A LOT of practice (ik this is old but I really hope u managed it) x

[@tbfg7454]

Using this as inspiration for me. Hope I get it 😁

[@aubreyparungan1401]

sana all

[@hannqhxx]

I have to do it for my grade 6 musical theatre and I’m terrified 😂

[@bleachbleachBLEACHER]

The Wicked songs never fail to send shivers down my spine.

[@rebeccashea8793]

"a celebration throughout oz thats all to do with me" well there was one, about her death. its so sad awww, she was just an innocent girl that was bullied for her green skin

[@jerramaurice7836]

Rebecca Shea Glinda wasn’t even a real friend I heard she was a treacherous bitch. The good witch of the north my ass!

[@nanalove3819]

"Someday there"ll be a celebration throughout Oz that's all to do with me". Yes, that's true. But not in the way she meant it. As she says : "True, the wision"s hazy".

[@brerooney5210]

she said "vision", as in "True the vision's hazy"

[@bubble2245]

Yeah... that's sad cause they're singing her death :P

[@JorgeInternacional]

Can you really blame Elphaba for feeling this way? She's being very honest to herself when saying this. She just wants to be with the wizard, don't be jealous! :)

[@jamie6506]

The number of times she foreshadows in here just hurts, this song is so bittersweet

[@JMCAQN]

I get goosebumps whenever I hear the last part of this song. Great.

[@larakeenan9150]

Skip to 0:45 for Elphaba's singing bit.

[@evelyn4120]

Ok?

[@memo-fq3ps]

I love her voice, it's perfect

[@Sours56]

I found this in Loki: Agent of Asgard because he's in the shower and he sings "no all-father's not proud of you...no brother acts ashamed...and all of Asgard will love you, when as a wizard you're acclaimed...[standing in front of the window] held in such high esteem! When people see me they will scream! For half of Asgard's favourite team! The wizard...and...[all-mother appears]...ah." Her reaction? "A most spirited recitation, Loki. You must entertain us at the next feast." And now I'm listening to this and imagining it in a voice similar to Aladdin's and 😆😓😻

[@eliskav147]

wolverinedoctorwho OMG IMUST READ THAT COMIC AGAIN I NEVER NOITICE

[@CaitlinC]

Yes!! I thought I was the only one who noticed that! It honestly made me laugh so much when reading it.

[@emmathestonedspider8676]

Same

[@losingmygrip]

wolverinedoctorwho ive read that comic. 😂

[@leahk2085]

I love that part of the comic! There’s actually quite a few similarities between Loki and Elphaba

[@celiar1726]

I WANNA SING THIS SO BAD RIGHT NOW BUT ITS NIGHT AND MY FAMILY IS SLEEPING AHHHHHH

[@thatrandomgirl4574]

I feel that

[@SophaPlays]

I just saw Wicked last night and the people playing Elphaba and Glinda were amazing. The lungs on the two were incredible

[@jesusthroughmary]

Adele Dazeem killing it yet again

[@monicacarranco8525]

I sang this is for an audition back in december And i nailed it! I got such a good role. Thank you stephen schwartz for this amazing song!

[@ediekurtz9490]

I just could melt....... Ahh sis noo

[@kenmakozume710]

I just found out that in the comic books, Loki sings this in the shower, and it just makes me so happy.

[@xXBellaBearXx1]

When my mum comes into my room telling me to be quiet, and I reply with 'And NOBODY in all of Oz no wizard that there is or was, is ever gunna bring me down!' And she walks away in defeat...BEST, DAY. EVER.

[@liahmusiclover4]

if you guys didn't realize it she says the wizard an lie so it sounds better and so she doesn't run out of air. So cool how she tricked all of you guys. She really is magical!

[@leeannette1732]

that's awesome

[@cameronwhitehead5488]

I love wicked I went to see it 8 days before christmas and it was amazing

[@Salesforspace]

This is the recording from the original Broadway soundtrack so of course it's good. Also yes it is Idina Menzel singing so again of course it's amazing.

[@HattsuneMiku]

Well, she's green, for one thing. SHe's strong headed and tends to be brash. She a book worm, but tends to be opinionated. It just proves she's awesome.

[@fantasyenvoy]

I remember singing this for my Musical Theatre exam, loved it then, love it now

[@fetus.incognitus]

*musical. it's not a play. it's a musical.

[@irinaandrews6877]

Just watched wicked on broadway yesterday and I have to say it is TOTALLY amazing no words can say how good it was

[@cawcwa]

everyone's talking about the "i'm so happy i could melt" part what they don't realize is that elphaba also predicted another thing- a celebration all to do with her.

[@aimeemckim5863]

Don't sing this song for an audition. It is a terrible DONT. Don't sing songs that are extremely popular in the musical theater community. More often than not you will be compared to who sang it first.

[@danielmorey8845]

lol this was my audition song for my performing arts school. 🙈

[@kingelder2]

+Aimee McKim couldnt I know what you mean but you say that about any song,you will be compared with who ever sang it first

[@aimeemckim5863]

Ian Elder Not if it isn't a very popular song.

[@MrSingingforfun]

dont be so worried on what ithers are doing, as long as they enjoy themselves and feetl they did their best is all that matters

[@alexisscott8293]

+Daniel Morey did you get in?

[@jaymebabyy]

Ariana Grande will kill this song!! Love her. I'm excited to see it!

[@davieg2]

SAME! SOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNN

[@dolchd]

SHE ALREADY DID 😭😭😭😭😭!

[@litzychavarin8302]

She did it better when she was 14 years old but she stills good

[@dolchd]

Litzy Chavarín No it was amazing and it’s still so amazing.

[@jaymebabyy]

@@dolchd yes she did amazing!! 😊

[@rabidmosaur6753]

This is one of my favorites💜

[@julielagleek]

I love wicked so much

[@Sarahluvsya2011]

This play "Wicked" is a beautiful play that has many magnifecent sings like this one. I am training my voice to be like the singer on this video and in the play. I hope one day I will be on broadway singing my heart out and acting! Justw ait one day you'll see i will meet this person i hope. Don't forget everyone follow your dreams and they will follow you

[@madisonwhitchurch2974]

Same

[@devoncosplays3106]

Ah!! This foreshadowing make me wanna cry!!

[@CountryCowboy008]

Maybe I'm just reaching here, but I think this number is a foreshadowing (just like classic musicals, they have one foreshadowing song) but, kinda like, in reverse. "If I degreenify you" - actually his green elixir is the reason why she's green. "And all of Oz has to love you when by the wizard you're acclaimed" - she was hated by Oz, because of the Wizard "Someday, there'll be a celebration throughout Oz that's all to do with me!" - Well, a witch hunt happened "I'll stand there with the Wizard!" - she stood AGAINST the Wizard "When people see me, they will scream" - well they scream of fear and anger "For half of Oz's favorite team" - the thing is, it could've been her and Glinda if together they took the Wizard down and lead the Oz, and Elphie being the half of that team.

[@dhrgkbqxtjr2743]

"And all of Oz has to love you when by the Wizard you're acclaimed" is actually a reference to G(a)linda. She is only considered the "Good" Witch because she is officially approved as an ambassador of the Wizard, whereas the Witch of the East and the Witch of the West were both considered wicked because they weren't endorsed by him. And the celebration that's all to do with her is her funeral. 😣

[@audreymarieburge]

This song is me at work, doing my absolute best, and hoping the manager will notice how hard I try.

[@moonbeam4016]

Audrey Marie Burge Aww Lol

[@audreymarieburge]

That moment when you'd forgotten you'd commented on this years ago and you end up at the same video. To update, I am now a favorite among all the managers bc I'm "a girl on whom they can rely".

[@ashleyespinoza852]

Love this song ❤️

[@jenniferfeliciano66]

I saw this play for free. I won a raffle at my school so i got free tickets. It was amazing!

[@hollybollybingbong_]

lucky

[@7BearSarah]

Does anyone else think of Hermione when they listen to this? no, just me? okay....

[@laurapitner7573]

I can see what you mean!

[@monicacarranco8525]

The similarities though

[@aisss221b]

Does anyone think about loki when they listen this song?

[@59emy]

amzing voice!!..well done for hitting the notes and the end!!

[@digbave]

OMG! LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[@wandavull]

Let's play a game of count the foreshadowing

[@abbyangel9]

0:43 to skip madame morrible

[@LeviAckerman-rp7re]

0:50 Don’t mind the “bookmark”… currently learning this while lying down and listening on loop-

[@piggysmallzgrande9955]

this song just catches me, i am singing this since Ari's performance

[@princepeterwolf]

more like Madame Horrible XD I always skip her part, I wish the song started right away with Elphie

[@EditorOfSL]

I know this came first but it really now makes me think of Zelena’s motivations in OUAT. She became green because she was jealous that Rumplestiltskin, practically a wizard, chose Regina to cast the Dark Curse over her and that was basically all she wanted, to be thought great by someone already acclaimed in magic. Got to wonder if the writers partially based her around Elphaba in this.

[@polken.s5359]

Beautiful!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@kennyhelton6269]

I can DEFINITELY see Eda in her childhood singing this song or maybe “The Emperor and I”, unaware of her upcoming future.

[@itsmekeira-meimagictime7918]

omg is so good

[@kp4692]

This song makes my heart hurt for Elphie

[@BethWhaley-tn1lg]

So good India Menzel has a beautiful voice and Kristen Chenowheth I have met her in real life she signed her christmas cd for me and omg so awesome also I am Christian like her.

[@ErikaSinging1314]

I sang this song for my school musical theatre performance :)

[@camrnjurena]

I just have to say, as a Gender Queer person, this song has so much relevancy to every minority. Whether it Black people, women, LGBTQ or all of the above. This song is powerful when you view "The Wizard and OZ" as the people you're supposed to impressing to fit into society.

[@aroura9633]

It’s been almost ten years since this was published

[@alexinitalics188]

Listening to this song and knowing the rest of the plot makes me think too hard about the beginning and the so called 'Making good' because, in fact, they really aren't. And then I remembered.The green elixir. The wizard was the reason Elphaba decided to be, well, wicked and have pretty much everyone hate her but she was already hated at Shiz for her appearance. Which was the way it was because of the wizard. Elphaba is so excited to meet the wizard because she thinks he'll make everyone love her and perhaps even take away her green skin and it's so hard because I know that he'll make everyone hate her and is the very cause of her green skin and she is completely oblivious.

[@jesusthroughmary]

"When people see me, they will scream for half of Oz's favorite team - the Wizard and I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" *me

[@MereMyr]

4:53 she sing the wizard and Liiiiiiii.

[@imbreakingdown2683]

This is the saddest song from wicked if you already know the storyline. Poor Elphaba, idolizing a skunk.

[@RebeccaKayembe]

my friend is singing this for the talent show and she is awesome

[@blobb3360]

First hearing it, the song seems pretty normal... Get to the end of the play, fine. But the next time you hear it...... Ooof I actually died the first time afterwards half way through the song I was like OH WAITT, BUT... THAT'S HER DAD?!?! I mean if she wants to then go ahead but

[@trickstarphoenix8413]

Id be so happy I could *MELT*

[@allendancer5373]

I thank she sounds 👍

[@Larfhard2008]

When you’re a dude and hit every single note finally!!!! ❤️

[@dhrgkbqxtjr2743]

Many years I have waited for a gift like yours to appear......

[@Larfhard2008]

Ty Avishek!!! Xxx

[@57Shadowheart]

I did this song for a theatre group i'm a part of. They still call it my best preformance as a part of that group.

[@MollyMakesAVlog]

it probably like helps her get the right note to sing the small L at the beginning

[@dkymky192]

"I'm so happy I could MELT" ma'am...I'm just not gonna comment on this and then "A celebration all throughout Oz that's all to do WITH ME" well do I have news for you

[@amazons_fav_alexa1676]

Time stamps: Beginning: 0:50 Audition p1: 3:39 Audition p2: 4:00 Audition p3: 4:19

[@gummy_chu9744]

This song is amazing including the whole movie wicked

[@bitchass7198]

焦林静 Wicked isn’t a movie lol

[@princepeterwolf]

THANK YOUUUUUUUU!

[@michellefreeman9986]

I love this song so much I love to sing it with idina so yeah

[@kinnunencorp2146]

I used this song to prepare for a Led Zeppelin performance group!

[@tonyf166]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤Yay!!!!!!!

[@alwisyahidwahyudin1397]

The way Elphaba wanted to be degreenified remind me of how I really wanted to join conversion therapy when I was in high school. Now, that's the only thing I try to avoid most lol

[@emmathestonedspider8676]

Loki: Agents of Asgard brought me here

[@camrnjurena]

At this moment in the musical she's feeling like the odd man out. And that all she has to do is show her worth. But we know if she does that not EVERYONE is going to accept her or her views. But she thinks that to be "With the Wizard" is to be "WHOLE" in the main stream eyes. This is a powerful statement for the LGBTQ community and the Black community, and Women. This is musical is SOOOOOO important.

[@spinel3089]

The teacher was using her as a pawn to get by the wizard and she didn’t really care about elphie when you watch throughout the show

[@DoomedLich]

In the song she's referring for her ability to use magic.

[@keiphervergara9295]

WHY AM I HEARING ELSA 😭

[@AJ1987LV]

Because it's the same voice? Aside of certain parallels between Elsa and Elphaba.

[@aldrinmusico7484]

I'm here because of What if it's Us ❤

[@jazzfiore9783]
