There is must be someplace where there is no trouble.
From The Wizard of Oz.
小的時候,都知道的故事「綠野仙蹤」,等到長大後,
我忘得差不多。只依稀記得桃樂斯與稻草人,機器人和
獅子一起在歐茲帝國冒險。
但到底他們在找什麼??忘了。
因為音樂劇Wicked,讓我又尋找起這故事的起源,我翻
出1939年Judy Garland主演電影重新回味童年時候記憶。
雖然其實在我心裡版本,應該是小時每天放學後的午後卡
通。
這齣音樂劇Wicked,是「綠野仙蹤」的前傳,解謎著綠女
巫的身世。在1900年出版的這本童話故事裡,故事裡的每
一個人都在尋找內心的渴求。家,腦袋,心與勇氣。可是,
女巫呢?應該不僅僅是桃樂斯腳上那雙紅鞋吧?Wicked編劇是
作者Gregory Maguire,改編自他小說Wicked: The Life and
Times of the Wicked Witch of the West,就是在講女巫神
秘的過去。
這齣音樂劇,最棒的地方,是在講兩個女巫之間的友情,述說
著一個遙遠古老的故事,北方與南方女巫的誕生,為什麼身上
總缺乏某些東西的稻草人,獅子和機器人會存在。說真的,我
看得時候,眼眶泛紅。雖然那是個再簡單不過的童話故事。
若說以後有人問我推薦百老匯哪些音樂劇,我會跟他說,去看
Wicked吧!這是個會勾起人童年美麗記憶的音樂與情節。
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Because I knew you,
I have been changed for good.

Song: For Good Lyrics
ELPHABA
I'm limited:
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you -
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
(spoken) For both of us
(sung) Now it's up to you:
GLINDA
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
ELPHABA
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:
GLINDA
Because I knew you:
BOTHI have been changed for good
ELPHABA
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
GLINDA
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
BOTH
And none of it seems to matter anymore
GLINDA ELPHABA
Like a comet pulled Like a ship blown
From orbit as it Off it's mooring
Passes a sun, like By a wind off the
A stream that meets Sea, like a seed
A boulder, half-way Dropped by a
Through the wood Bird in the wood
BOTH
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better?
GLINDA
And because I knew you:
ELPHABA
Because I knew you:
BOTH
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.
