Line 34:
* [[The Ditz]]: In the musical. In the books, she's actually very intelligent and capable.
* [[Heel Realization]]: In the musical, at the Ozdust Ballroom.
** She has an even bigger one later after {{spoiler|inadvertently contributing to Nessarose's death.]]}}
* [[Inept Mage]]: Early on she qualifies. She gets better. She's the only one of the girls who actually has a formal education in magic in the books, and is not capable of doing many impressive things with it, though by the standards of Ozian society, she is actually very talented(In the sense that she doesn't accidentally set things on fire).
* [[Large Ham]]: The role practically calls out for this, especially compared to the more dour and sarcastic Elphaba. The song "Popular" is often the benchmark for any actress playing G(a)linda, as it involves a lot of hopping around, dancing, yodelling, and often bits of improvised comedy unique to that actress. Most later actresses took Kristin Chenoweth's performance and ''built'' on it, creating a series of zanier Glindas.
