00:00Oz represents a place of magic, so to be able to invite an audience into this beautiful world is really exciting.

00:13Welcome new students.

00:16Expect the unexpected.

00:20The things that you think are impossible, the things that you've been dreaming about aren't impossible at all.

00:28Absolutely remarkable.

00:31A magic wand.

00:33Galinda, just like Elphaba, wants to find her magic.

00:40Boggans!

00:42Seriously?

00:44Nothing is just one dimension in the world of Oz.

00:47Instead of going down, gravity can go up.

00:51That special magic is palpable.

00:53Oz is full of surprises too.

00:56Animals talk.

00:58Animals are no longer permitted to teach.

01:01What?

01:03You can't permit this.

01:04Elphaba, I'm afraid it's out of our hands.

01:09And so it becomes this really beautiful, unselfish crusade to help the animals.

01:15Oh.

01:17You're behind all of this.

01:19You have no right to do this.

01:22You have no real power.

01:24Exactly.

01:26That's why I need you.

01:30It isn't about relying on someone else, it really is about harnessing the power that she has.

01:35And figuring out how to use that to do good the way she needs to.

01:41That's the most magical part of the whole thing.

01:48You can do anything.

01:50I know.
