Popular from Wicked

Here is first a note. This is danced by one person, but in order for the song to make sense, there must be another person there as a "prop." Speaking of which, you will also need a chair, a hair brush, and a mirror. I also suggest you see the play. Not that it has anything to do with the choreography of the dance, it is just a really good play. If you have not seen the play or heard the music, I must tell you that it should be danced by two girls, so boys, you are out of luck! Of course, a boy could dance the part of Galinda, but the words really wouldn't make sense if the played Elphaba.

GLINDA:
