My Wicked countdown from today to the 22nd when I'll finally watch Wicked!
Character of the Day:
Galinda Arduenna Upland
Galinda Arduenna Upland is Elphaba's roommate at Shiz University. She hates Elphaba at first, but they later become close friends. However, the two are separated for twenty years when Elphaba goes into hiding. Glinda is part of the high society in Gillikin, Oz's northern province. The Glinda in the book is parallel to her character in the musical Wicked, sometimes behaving in a snobby and mean fashion, whereas in The Wizard of Oz, as well as in the original Oz Books, she is portrayed as kind and gentle.
In the musical, the role was originally played by Kristin Chenoweth.
Quote of the Day:
Glinda: "Can I call you Elphie?"
Elphaba: "It's a little perky."
Glina: "And you can call me...Galinda!"
Song of the Day:
Wicked ProShot with the original cast
