You know what we need?
Uh, may I, um, kindly, request the presence of the one and only, Cynthia Erivo
Hello
Hey, would you be mad if we, if we got to do something a little bit togehter?
I would love to do something together
Geez, I'm the luckiest guy on earth
Did that really just happen?
Have I actually understood?
This weird quirk I’ve tried to suppress or hide
Is a talent that could
help me meet the Wizard
If I make good
So I'll make good
When I meet the Wizard
Once I prove my worth
And then I meet the Wizard
What I've waited for since, well, since birth
And with all his Wizard wisdom
By my looks, he won’t be blinded
Do you think the Wizard is dumb?
Or, like Munchkins, so small-minded? No!
He'll say to me, "I see who you truly are
A girl on whom I can rely"
And that's how we'll begin, ooh
The Wizard and I
Once I'm with the Wizard
My whole life will change
'Cause once you're with the Wizard
No one thinks you're strange
No father is not proud of you
No sister acts ashamed
And all of Oz has to love you
When, by the Wizard, you’re acclaimed
And this gift or this curse I have inside
Maybe, at last, I’ll know why
As we work hand in hand
The Wizard and I
And one day, he'll say to me, "Elphaba
A girl who is so superior
Shouldn’t a girl who's so good inside
Have a matching exterior?
And since folks here to an absurd degree
Seem fixated on your verdigris
Would it be alright by you
If I de-greenify you?"
And though, of course, that's not important to me
"Alright, why not?", I'll reply
Oh, what a pair we’ll be
The Wizard and I
Yes, what a pair we'll be
The Wizard and—
Unlimited
My future is unlimited
And I've just had a vision almost like a prophecy
I know
It sounds truly crazy
And true, the vision's hazy
But I swear, someday there'll be
A celebration throughout Oz
That's all to do
With me
And I'll stand there with the Wizard
Feeling things I've never felt
And though I'd never show it
I'd be so happy, I could melt
And so it will be for the rest of my life
And I'll want nothing else 'til I die
Held in such high esteem
When people see me, they will scream
For half of Oz's favorite team
The Wizard
And I
Uh, may I, um, kindly, request the presence of the one and only, Cynthia Erivo
