Because one of her teachers Madame Morrible joined with The Wizard and they framed her because she knew too much about what was happening with animals of Oz. Then they killed her sister to draw her out into the open from hiding.
Elphaba
the wicked witch of the east's name is Nessarose and the wicked witch of the west's name is Elphaba
Elphaba and Fyero Runs off-to fake Elphaba's death-and I'm guessing to have Liir-he's Fyero's and Elphaba's son.
In the beginning of wicked Elphaba is said the be 16 years old.
Elphaba is the name given to the Wicked Witch of the West. She is one of the two leads in the show, along with Glinda (the Good Witch.)
Yes, Elphaba (the wicked witch of the west)'s sister Nessarose (the wicked witch of the east) is in a wheelchair at the beginning of the show. however in Act II, Elphaba enchants her shoes (thus creating the ruby slippers) allowing her to walk.
She had an affair with The Wizard and he gave Elphaba's mom the green elixer.
In Wicked there are really not any wicked witches, just misunderstood girls with magical powers. Elphaba is a college student who was born green and was loved by no one. Because of this, she was considered misunderstood. Being misunderstood and unloved gave her a bitter feeling and she became the Wicked Witch of the West. The Wicked Witch of the East is Elphaba's younger sister who was once paralyzed. Her name is Nessarose. She becomes wicked in an act of selfishness in trying to save her boyfriend from death. None of the typical witches are wicked. The wicked witch of the west is Elphaba is just missunderstood and that's what the whole musical is about. Then there is Nessarose who is Elphaba's sister but she is seen as the wicked witch of the east because she made a selfish descision to keep her love. Then of course there is Glinda, who isn't really Wicked but very selfish sometimes and a little bit self-centered.
wicked is about Elphaba's (the wicked witch of the west) life was before she was mean and ow she turned mean and who the characters really are
If you mean in the broudway musical, her real name was supposed to be Elphaba. If you haven't seen Wicked the musical, I HIGHLY suggest you do!
Elphaba (the green skinned) ... is supposed to be hte wicked witch, according to The Wizard of OZ. However, if you see musical, you will realize that there is so much more to ELphaba's character than you think.
Her name was Elmira Gulch and she was played by Margaret Hamilton. Hamilton also played the Wicked Witch of the East (and the West).
