Name Signs in The Wizard of Oz

Pluto · 08-26-2006, 01:14 AM

At my high school, we are putting on an ASL Variety Show, and my friends and I are going to be signing a song from the recent Broadway musical "Wicked." I have to sign The Wizard of Oz (the person) in a fast-paced song. Does he have a sign name? I'd imagine there is, but I could not find it anywhere, and even my deaf teachers didn't know.

Are there also name signs for Elphaba (The Wicked Witch of the West) and Glinda (The Good Witch)? I guess that Elphaba would be WICKED with an E handshape and Glinda would be GOOD with a G handshape.

Here is a link to the lyrics of the song.

Thanks for the help!

EDIT: I hope this is the right section. Feel free to move it if it isn't.

I'll PM you with what I know from seeing the play interpreted.
Name signs and all will be up to you, but I can give you me 2 cents.

I'm interested to see the regional differences in name signs (i've seen six version of Elphaba and Galinda and even the Wizard of Oz).
