Wicked: The Complete Genderswap
Singysinger for Elphaba Thropp (singing voice)
Elphaba was born green, and as a result, has always been the outcast in society and his own family. This is not helped by his outspoken and sometimes controversial beliefs on how life in Oz should be. Upon arriving at Shiz University to care for his wheelchair-bound brother, Nessarose, Elphaba is roomed with the perky and annoying Galinda. The two instantly hate each other, but gradually earn each other's respect and become close friends. Elphaba's goal in life is to meet the Wizard of Oz, whom he believes will not care about his appearance and perhaps might even make him "normal". However, Elphaba learns that the Wizard is responsible for silencing all of the Animals in Oz. Elphaba steals the Wizard's spellbook which makes the Wizard turn him into a villain in Oz's eyes. Unbeknownst to him, the Wizard is actually his mother who gave birth to him after having an affair with his father and later gave him up to him. Elphaba eventually falls in love with Fiyero, despite the fact that Glinda is in love with her as well, and to his surprise, Fiyero returns his affections. After realizing Oz will never accept him or see the truth, the two of them fake Elphaba's death and run off together.

Excerpt from I'm Not That Girl:
Please use this instrumental: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMogchK-fAU
"Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who’s winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That’s the girl he chose
And heaven knows
I’m not that girl
Don’t wish
Don’t start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn’t born for the rose and pearl
There’s a girl I know
He loves her so
I’m not that girl..."
Excerpt from No Good Deed:
Please use this instrumental: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IS1KtH8na3o
"No good deed goes unpunished
All helpful urges should be circumvented
No good deed goes unpunished
Sure, I meant well
Well, look at what well-meant did!
All right, enough, so be it!
So be it then…
Let all of Oz be agreed
I’m wicked through and through
Since I cannot succeed
Fiyero saving you
I promise no good deed will I attempt to do again
Ever again!
No good deed
Will I do
Again!"
