The Good, the Bad, the Wicked: Lessons from Oz”
“The Good, The Bad, The Wicked: Lessons from Oz” by Dr. Brian Howell Assistant Professor of Anthropology , Wheaton College What could be a more unambiguous, self-identified portrait of evil than a green faced Witch surrounded by creepy flying monkeys? Her very name, the Wicked Witch of the West, sets the tone pretty clearly. She’s Bad; Glinda is Good; the wizard is a bumbler but a well-intentioned guy and Dorothy is haplessly caught in the middle. But the hottest ticket on Broadway says, “Not so fast.” Perhaps having a green face and wearing unfashionable black hats is not enough to make you Wicked. In fact, perhaps “goodness” and “wickedness” are not such clear-cut categories at all. In a musical “prequel” to the film “The Wizard of Oz,” the audience is challenged to re-evaluate the judgements of good and evil, tapping into the powerful cultural theme of authenticity at the same time. The Broadway musical “Wicked” is based on a book of the same name that tells the story of Elphaba (nee The Wicked Witch of the West) and her early history in the land of Oz. Born an unnatural shade of green due to the dalliances of her mother, Elphaba is misunderstood and ostracized, particularly when enrolling in a boarding school for aspiring Witches and Wizards (Shiz Academy). There she finds herself rooming with Galinda (later to become Glinda, The Good Witch), who inspires her to travel to the Emerald City in order to meet the Wizard. Elphaba, you see, has true magical gifts, and her only dream has been to meet and work with the Wizard, the Great and Powerful Oz.

A Rhetorical Analysis of Wicked's Elphaba
“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.

Wicked - for Performers
Wicked - For Performers The following questions and answers are from the archive of the StephenSchwartz.com Forum. Copyright by Stephen Schwartz 2010 all rights reserved. No part of this content may be reproduced without prior written consent, including copying material for other websites. Feel free to link to this archive. Send questions to [email protected] Wicked Auditions Question: Dear Stephen, do you hold auditions for your shows on Broadway, or do you select the actors personally, if you do hold auditions, how can people learn of them. Answer from Michael Cole: Dear Brian: Stephen does not hold personal auditions - this process is handled by Bernard Telsey Casting in New York City. Stephen will, on occasion, recommend somebody to be seen for a particular role, but they must then audition for the casting directors and the rest of the creative team. The best way to learn of auditions is to contact your agent and let him or her know you are interested, or by watching the trade papers for audition notices (Backstage Magazine is a good source). Best, Michael Answer from Carol de Giere: Hi Brian, Here's a few links that may help. http://www.musicalschwartz.com/wicked-auditions.htm http://www.musicalsingers.com/auditioning/auditions.htm Wicked audition advice needed Question: Hello Mr Schwartz, What would you recommend as a good audition song for the Role of Galinda in Wicked? I have been suggested for casting by my agent for London and would like some first hand advice for a suitable song, i have many already in my file but would love to hear your opinion.

Beck May 2020 ! Abstract ____________________________ This interdisciplinary thesis examines the myth of the orphan in twentieth-century America as exemplified through the recurring story of “Little Orphan Annie,” an iconic American figure of independence, resilience, and optimism. By providing historical context and literary analysis for each of Annie’s crucial moments in the twentieth century, this thesis shows how the character has advanced a misguided perception of orphan and youth agency. While evolving to represent different decades of American society in the twentieth century through different mediums, Annie has further misled Americans in their perception of orphan and youth agency.

Wicked Ideas for Music
WICKED IDEAS FOR MUSIC WICKED SOngS (suitable for upper primary and secondary students) PRE-TEACHING PREPARATION FOR TEACHERS: A very detailed musical analysis of the songs, handy for teachers when preparing lessons, has been written by Robert Vieira: www.musicalwriters.com/musicals/s-z/wicked-1.htm. Teachers of Music can use the content in the following activity, as well as that given in the links, over several lessons up to a term in both theory-based and practical classes. Teachers will find the music in Wicked useful for aural, performing and composing tasks, and that students will very readily engage with the content – particularly if they have seen the show. • Performing: As many of the songs can be technically difficult, teachers should read and play through the score first to see what will be suitable for their classes. Details of the vocal score are given in the in the Wicked Resources section of the website – note that the songs are written in “concert” version rather than the version performed in the production. • Composing / Aural: Advanced students may be interested in using music from Wicked as a model for creating their own music. Schwartz’s own account of the ideas he used when composing Wicked can be found at www.musicalschwartz.com/wicked-musical-themes.htm. Teachers can have classes analyse the music by having students focus on elements such as: Rhythm values / syncopation and how this can convey emotion; for example – The syncopation and use of awkward rests in Glinda’s line “It’s really sharp don’t you think” in “Dancing Through Life” to convey her lack of honesty.

Annie (20130524).Pdf
May 24, 2013 FADE IN: 1 INT. CLASSROOM - AFTERNOON 1 A Harlem classroom filled with kids and an overmatched teacher. A cherubic little girl with red hair and a short dress over-enunciates her essay in front of the class-- RED HAIR ...So even though he wanted to do a lot as president, he died after 32 days in office from pneumonia. So we can all learn from William Henry Harrison to wear our coats, wash our hands and eat healthy, so we have better immune systems. The end. She smiles widely and flourishes with a Shirley Temple tap dance bow. TEACHER Good job, Annie. As she skips back to her seat the other kids roll their eyes. TEACHER (CONT'D) Okay. Annie B. Your turn. We find our Annie, sitting in a middle row. ANNIE You sure there's time? I don't wanna keep anyone from vacation. TEACHER Get up here. (Annie approaches) Where's your essay? ANNIE (taps her head) Up here. It's more of a performance * piece. The teacher sighs. This isn't the first time. ANNIE (CONT'D) My president is Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He was elected in 1932 * when most people had no money. So just like now, but with no texting. (MORE) 2. ANNIE (CONT'D) (gestures to the class) Everyone except the front row, you be the poor people. Won't be a stretch. (laughter) You're all hungry and mad so stomp your feet. She demonstrates and they all follow. ANNIE (CONT'D) The front row are the rich people.
