    “IT’S JUST THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME, I FEEL… WICKED”: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF WICKED’S ELPHABA USING KENNETH BURKE’S GUILT-PURIFICATION-REDEMPTION CYCLE by Patricia C. Foreman A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Communication Studies at Liberty University May 2013 Foreman 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, to “my Dearest, Darlingest Momsy and Popsicle,” and to my brother Gary, thank you so much for your constant support, encouragement, direction and love. I appreciate your words of wisdom and advice that always seem to be just what I need to hear. To each of my fellow graduate assistants, thank you for “dancing through life” with me. Thank you for becoming not only co-workers, but also some of my best friends. To my thesis committee – Dr. William Mullen, Dr. Faith Mullen, and Dr. Lynnda S. Beavers – thank you all so much for your help. This finished thesis is, without a doubt, the “proudliest sight” I’ve ever seen, and I thank you for your time, effort and input in making this finished product a success. Finally, to Mrs. Kim, and all of my fellow “Touch of Swing”-ers, who inspired my love of the Wicked production, and thus, this study. For the long days of rehearsals, even longer nights on tour buses, and endless hours of memories that I’ll not soon forget... “Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better? I do believe I have been changed for the better. And because I knew you, I have been changed for good.” Foreman 3 In Memory Of… Lauren Tuck May 14, 1990 – September 2, 2010 “It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime, so let me say before we part, so much of me is made of what I learned from you.

At the start of 1996, Stephen Schwartz never imagined he would end the year envisioning his next Broadway musical, Wicked. Movie songwriting seemed to be his ideal calling, espe- cially after one eventful evening in March. He donned his black tuxedo and white dress shirt, strode across the red carpet, and met up with his Pocahontas writing partner Alan Menken at Los Angeles’ Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. For forty-eight- year- old Schwartz, being nominated for an Academy Award was a wel- come twist on his childhood dream of writing musicals for the stage. With his kids at home watching the ceremony on televi- sion, and his parents and wife in the audience, he waited for the announcement.

Anyway, I just wanted to know how long it took you to fully write the score? Answer from Stephen Schwartz: The whole show took about four years to write, counting all the revisions and rewriting. How Close to Original Vision Question from Eric: I would like to know how you yourself feel about what you've done. I know you don't tend to read reviews of any kind, which is understandable. But how close to your original vision is WICKED? Really? I know as a creator one is never entirely satisfied. Would you be willing to specify any disappointments? In terms of what you envisioned and what is now the finished product? I know you can't help but be pleased with the show's success, but is there something you'd still like to do to it if such a thing were possible? Your score is so good, I love the show without having even seen it yet! Do you have a personal favorite song or moment from this show? I know it's a lot of questions.

All Rights Reserved. This dissertation titled Defying Gravity, Silence, and Societal Expectations: Social Movement Leadership and Hegemony in the Musical Wicked by VALERIE LYNN SCHRADER has been approved for the School of Communication Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Jerry L. Miller Associate Professor of Communication Studies Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii ABSTRACT SCHRADER, VALERIE LYNN, Ph.D., June 2010, Communication Studies Defying Gravity, Silence, and Societal Expectations: Social Movement Leadership and Hegemony in the Musical Wicked (280 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Jerry L. Miller This dissertation examines the rhetoric of social movement leadership and hegemony in the musical Wicked, suggesting that the musical offers “equipment for living” to its audience members. Constructing a rhetorical text using the New York performance script, sheet music, cast recording, and three performances of Wicked, I analyzed the musical through an extended version of cluster criticism, clustering themes rather than terms to form meanings. Chapter 1 of this dissertation provides an introduction to the study, a rationale, and a preview to the rest of the dissertation. Chapter 2 presents a literature review that informs the rest of the study. This chapter includes literature on L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its many offspring, as well as a brief history of American musical theatre and its use as a method of societal critique.
