WICKED Music and Lyrics by Stephen Schwartz Originally performed on Broadway by Idina Menzel and Norbert Leo Butz. The original cast album was recorded on November 10, 2003. © 2003 Universal Classics Group, a division of UMG Recordings, Inc. "As Long as You’re Mine" is a powerful love song from Wicked. It captures an intimate moment between Elphaba (the “Wicked Witch”) and Fiyero (the handsome prince who once dated Elphaba’s friend, Glinda). Unlike other songs in Wicked, which often convey action, humor, or larger-than-life emotions, this piece is intimate and raw, embodying the risk and tenderness of a love they know is doomed. In the narrative, the song marks a turning point for both characters: Elphaba: By this point, she has fully embraced her identity as an outsider. But with Fiyero, she lets her guard down, revealing a softer side hidden beneath her tough exterior. Her part in the song showcases her desire for love and normalcy, things she rarely experiences due to her misunderstood nature. Fiyero: Originally a carefree, shallow prince, Fiyero’s character arc leads him toward greater complexity as he becomes more thoughtful and brave. During this song, he acknowledges his attraction to Elphaba, transforming him from a superficial figure to someone willing to defy societal norms to follow his heart. Themes and Style: The song explores passion, freedom, and transience themes. There's a sense of urgency in their words as if they’re seizing this one brief moment to be together before they inevitably part. Musically, it begins softly but grows in intensity, with hauntingly beautiful harmonies that reflect the characters’ emotions. It’s sensual yet laced with sorrow, foreshadowing the tragedy that looms over both characters. Impact and Interpretation: Fans and audiences often view "As Long as You’re Mine" as one of the most moving songs in Wicked. Its sensuality and emotional depth resonate beyond the musical's context, becoming an anthem for anyone who has loved someone against the odds or felt the intensity of a relationship that couldn’t last. It’s an unforgettable moment that deepens the characters and strengthens the story’s emotional impact. Wicked is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman. It draws inspiration from Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, a creative reimagining of L. Frank Baum's 1900 classic *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz* and its 1939 film adaptation. The musical unfolds from the perspectives of two witches, Elphaba and Galinda, exploring their friendship before and after Dorothy’s arrival in Oz. It delves into the complexities of their bond as Elphaba becomes the Wicked Witch of the West and Galinda transforms into Glinda the Good. Their relationship is marked by contrasting personalities, clashing ideals, a shared romantic interest, responses to the Wizard’s corrupt reign, and ultimately, Elphaba’s tragic downfall. Produced by Universal Stage Productions, along with producers Marc Platt, Jon B. Platt, and David Stone, and helmed by director Joe Mantello with choreography by Wayne Cilento, *Wicked* opened on Broadway at the Gershwin Theatre in October 2003 following tryouts at San Francisco's Curran Theatre earlier that year. Its original cast featured Idina Menzel as Elphaba, Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda, Norbert Leo Butz as Fiyero, and Joel Grey as the Wizard.
