How’d you do?
12-15: You’re defying gravity! Nice work, Elphaba.
8-11: You may not be Mathilda, but you’re pretty dang smart.
4-7: Well, Hamilton, you might have thrown away a few shots, but no one can say you didn’t try.
0-3: Let’s just say if it came down to proving your knowledge of musical theatre or getting eaten by a man-eating plant, you’d end up somewhere that’s green.
