How long has she lived when Elphaba dies?

Answer 1

In the musical 'Wicked', Elphaba is a freshman in college. We therefore assume she is around 18. But, she is three years older than her sister, Nessarose. It is both their first year at college, so she could be around twenty-one, or Nessa could go to college early at fifteen or sixteen, meaning Elphaba is eighteen or nineteen.

However, in the second act, we see it is much later after she had 'Defied Gravity' and turned against the Wizard. This could be days, months, or even years afterwards.

Answer 2

Elphaba Thropp is 38 years old when she seems to die under a bucket of water thrown by Dorothy Gale in 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' by author Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954].

Answer 3

No age is given for Glinda in "The Wizard of Oz."

Specifically, author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1865 - May 6, 1919) gives no specific information regarding the ages of any of his characters in the original 1900 book edition of "The Wizard of Oz." According to the text, Glinda is as accomplished as she is beautiful. According to the illustrations, she may be as young as in her twenties (20s) and most likely is in her thirties (30s).

Answer 4

An age span of 20-35 is listed for actresses who audition for the role of Elphaba Thropp in the musical "Wicked."

Specifically, the musical begins with Elphaba as a freshman at Shiz University. It ends with her staged death under a well-aimed bucket of water thrown by Dorothy Gale. No information is given in the musical as to Elphaba's age, but the book upon which the play is based gives her an age of 38 at "death."

Answer 5

In the book it says that both Glinda and Elphaba are 16.

Answer 6

Not sure if she's the complete youngest, but Danna Paola plays Elphaba in Mexico City. She is currently 18 years of age.
