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.

What happens to Elphaba and Fiyero in 'Wicked'?

In the book version of 'Wicked', Elphaba and Fiyero die. Fiyero is killed. Elphaba Thropp, who also is called the Wicked Witch of the West, also dies. But the book includes the information that a witch never dies a true death. Elphaba is a witch, and therefore she will be back.In the musical version of 'Wicked', Elphaba and Figyero only appear to die. Fiyero is changed into a Scarecrow and therefore survives the torture of the Wizard of Oz's guards. Everyone is led to believe that water destroys Elphaba. So Dorothy Gale throws water on Elphaba, who appears to melt. Elphaba actually makes a successful escape through a trap door. She and Fiyero then leave the lands of Oz, for a fresh start elsewhere.


What is the solution to wicked by Gregory mcguire?

Well the whole plot is different and many of the questions the reader has are left unanswered. The biggest differences between the musical and the book are that - Elphaba could have died there was no proof she lived. - Galinda and Elphaba never make up, the last scene with them is just heart wrenching. -Fiyero is not the scarecrow she just hopes he is. -Elphaba has a son named Liir. -The love triangle between Elphaba and Fiyero never really exists it is between Fiyero's wife and Elphaba ( Fiyero's wife and most of their children die except one ) There is a lot more but that is most of it. Sorry of you didn't want it compared to the musical. All in all Maguire has a much darker ending.
