Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The first word IS good, Tommy Sparks!. "Good news! She's Dead!!.!.!." My guess is that the last word is probably just reminding people of the title and the main themes of the play!. It's very common for the last word of the musical to be it's title!.!.!.!. BUT i could be completely wrong, nice observation, though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Well, its a loop!. Wicked starts with the celebration of Elphaba's 'death', and then it goes back and we see how things came to be how they are!. So at the end its back to the time of the celebration, which is now in the distance because we are more focused on Elphaba and Fiyero's escape!. The show both starts and ends with No One Mourns the Wicked because the general public still thinks Elphaba is wicked, and the finale has parts of For Good mixed in to show that no matter what Glinda and Elphaba have changed each other!.!.!.for good!. --------------------- NOMTW lyrics(first part): CITIZENS OF OZ: Good news! She's dead! The Witch of the West is dead! The wickedest witch there ever was The enemy of all of us here in Oz Is Dead! Good news! Good news! ~skip Glinda, Secret Lover, Birth of Elphaba parts~ ALL No one mourns the Wicked! Now at last, she's dead and gone! Now at last, there's joy throughout the land And Goodness knows We know what Goodness is Goodness knows The Wicked die alone GLINDA She died alone!.!.!. ALL Woe to those Who spurn what Goodness They are shown No one mourns the Wicked GLINDA Good news! CROWD No one mourns the Wicked! GLINDA Good news! ALL No one mourns the Wicked! Wicked! Wicked! ----------------------- Finale Lyrics: CELEBRANTS No one mourns the Wicked Now at last she's dead and gone Now at last there's joy throughout the land ALL Good news!
