What is your favorite song from the musical Wicked and why?

Question:On the CD I LOVE LOVE LOVE For Good, As Long As Your Mine, The Wizard and I, and Thank Goodness(I can hit the notes so I LOVE singing it in the car!)

Performance (I've seen the show 2x's- National Tour and Broadway) No One Mourns The Wicked, Dancing Through Life, Popular, One Short Day, and Defying Gravity!

I normally don't listen to it(I'm sooo Wicked out!) but I'm in such a mood today to do so!

I also love What Is This Feeling? because when I saw it on Broadway in January, Galinda (Annaleigh Ashford) fell as she was stepping back onto the stage. And she just rolled over and totally played it off! Lol...and the understudy Elphaba (Chelsea Krombach-it was only her 2nd time playing the role!) also fell to make fun of her...it was HILARIOUS!

My favorite song is Defying Gravity. I think the special effects are really incredible when she defies gravity.

Hmmm...that's really hard....

"No Good Deed" Is really good because the vocals are great and also its soooooo true! It really makes you look at good deeds from another perspective

the same goes for "Dancing Through Life" that's also true and its funny

......but "Popular" and "What is This Feeling?" are also really funny and "One Short Day" is just a fun song.......

hmmm......I guess since Wicked is such a great musical I just can pick one

haha Sorry

I absolutly love defying Gravity because the harmony's are fantastic and the when Idina Menzel belts it out in the end is fantastic.

I also love I'm not the girl becuause it is so soft and powerful and sad. It is fantastic

Well, I like all of them because they help move the story along and give us (the audience) insight into what a character's hopes, dreams, fears, and aspirations are.

No one mourns the wicked is a very dark 'celebration' of sorts after the 'death' of the Wicked Witch of the West (Elphaba).

Dear old Shiz is a good transition to the flashback.

The Wizard and I tells us what young Elphaba's hopes are for the future. To be united with the Wizard.

What is this feeling? shows the initial reaction Elphaba and Galinda have to being forced to room together.

Something Bad introduces the theme of Equal Rights (well, Animal rights).

Dancing Through Life gives us young Fiyero's philosophy on life.

Popular shows that Galinda and Elphaba's friendship is developing.

I'm not that girl further enhances the love triangle between Elphaba, Galinda and Fiyero.

The Wizard and I (reprise) is Elphaba remembering what she hoped for the first day of school.

One Short Day is Elphaba and Glinda bonding as they both go to a place they've never been before.

A sentimental man tells us the Wizard has a desire to be a father.

Defying Gravity shows how Elphaba's view of the Wizard and Madame Morrible changes so quickly and she realizes they are not to be trusted. So she enchants a broom with the help of the levitation spell she was tricked into using on the monkeys and flies away, leaving Glinda behind.

Thank Goodness shows the view the Ozians have of Elphaba in general and how Morrible's propaganda--fueled by the Wizard and Glinda--has impacted this. It also shows that Fiyero really does love Elphaba...but he doesn't want Glinda to be unhappy. ('cause when Glinda isn't happy, no one in Oz is happy)

The Wicked Witch of the East shows that Nessarose blames Elphaba for her inability to use her legs and that she thinks Boq truly loves her, which he doesn't of course. It also shows how Nessarose blames Elphaba for everything bad that happens.
(and one of my favorite lines-Elphaba: Nessa, I've done all I ever could for you, and its never been enough...and it never will be.)

Wonderful is the Wizard taking advantage of Elphaba in her tired state and promising her everything she wished for in The Wizard and I.

I'm not that gil(reprise) shows how the tables have turned in the love triangle of Elphaba, Glinda, and Fiyero.

As long as your mine shows that Elphaba and Fiyero truly love each other.

No good deed is Elphaba at her 'wickedest', her views have now changed to 'no good deed goes unpunished', or, if one does something that is really and truly good, there will be others who, just because of rumors, spite and other things, turn the positive into a negative.

March of the witch hunters shows the extent Morrible's propaganda has gone to to promote this image of Elphaba being a 'wicked witch'

For good is Elphaba and Glinda's final parting; they realize they have each changed each other 'for good', in Glinda's case being, actually good, and for Elphaba, forever.

No one mourns the wicked(reprise) shows the Wizard's regrets for sending a little farm girl from kansas to kill Elphaba, whom he finds out is his daughter.

Finale combines no one mourns the wicked and for good to show that everyone in Oz still thinks Elphaba is wicked, and that Elphaba and Glinda miss each other very much. Especially because Elphaba is supposedly dead.
