“I think a moment that exemplifies ‘True Friendship’ is when Glinda steps in, using her popularity and privilege for good, at the Ozdust ballroom and begins to dance with Elphaba. In a small gesture she is able to stand with Elphaba and help the other students move toward accepting her rather than continuing to alienate her.”
