Wicked Word Search
This Wicked puzzle holds forty names from the musical and the films: Elphaba and Glinda, who starts out as Galinda, Fiyero, Nessarose, Boq, Madame Morrible, the goat professor Doctor Dillamond, and Shiz, the university where it all begins.
The story began as a novel. Gregory Maguire published Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West in 1995, retelling L. Frank Baum's Oz from the witch's side. He also gave her a name, which Baum never did: Elphaba is built from the sounds of Baum's initials, L, F and B. At Shiz she is roommates with Galinda, who drops the first a from her name for Doctor Dillamond, the goat who could never say it, as the talking Animals of Oz lose their right to speak.
The musical, with songs by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, opened on Broadway in 2003 with Idina Menzel as Elphaba and Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda, and Menzel won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical. The first act ends with Defying Gravity, as Elphaba rises on her broomstick. Jon M. Chu filmed the show as two movies, with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, released in 2024 and 2025.
