DancingThroughLife是薇尼•霍兹曼创作的音乐剧《魔法坏女巫》的插曲。《魔法坏女巫》（Wicked）自2003年在百老汇首演以来已经吸引了世界范围内超过5000万观众，获得了超过100个奖项，风靡百老汇与西区十余年。其中所获奖项包括1座格莱美、2座奥利弗奖和3座托尼奖。《魔法坏女巫》是有史以来世界上最受瞩目、最壮观也是最成功的剧作之一，至今已经在14个国家上演，有6种语言版本。

　　《泰晤士报》称其为“《歌剧魅影》后最宏大的作品”。《魔法坏女巫》是对家喻户晓的《绿野仙踪》故事创造性的解构与重述。

　　通体翠绿、遭人排挤的艾芙芭Elphaba，和娇俏讨喜、志存高远的格琳达Glinda，在经历了一系列理想与幻灭，背叛与宽恕之后，结下了深厚而难言的友谊，并收获了各自的历练与成长，其中体现的女性自我意识觉醒以及有关话语权的思考，在当今时代的语境下愈久弥新。

　　宏大而极富想象力的布景舞美亦是一大看点。从天而降的泡泡船，悬于穹顶的神秘地图，浮华艳丽的奥兹人服装，不失为现今百老汇舞台上数一数二的视听盛宴。

The trouble with schools is

They always try to teach the wrong lessons

Believe me I've been kicked out

Of enough of them to know

They want you to become less callow

Less shallow

But I say why invite stress in

Stop studying strife

And learn to live the unexamined life

Dancing through life

Skimming the surface

Gliding where turf is smooth

Life's more painless

For the brainless

Why think too hard

When it's so soothing

Dancing through life

No need to tough it

When you can slough it off as I do

Nothing matters

But knowing nothing matters

It's just life

So keep dancing through

Dancing through life

Swaying and sweeping

And always keeping cool

Life is fraught-less

When you're thoughtless

Those who don't try

Never look foolish

Dancing through life

Mindless and careless

Make sure you're where less trouble is rife

Woes are fleeting

Blows are glancing

When you're dancing

Through life

So

What's the most swankified place in town

That would be the Ozdust Ballroom

Sounds perfect

Let's go down to the Ozdust Ballroom

We'll meet there later tonight

We can dance till it's light

Find the prettiest girl

Give 'er a whirl

Right on down to the Ozdust Ballroom

Come on

Follow me

You'll be happy to be there

Dancing through life

Down at the Ozdust

If only because dust

Is what we come to

Nothing matters

But knowing nothing matters

It's just life

So keep dancing through

M-Miss Galinda

I I hope you'll save at least one dance for me

I'll be right there waiting all night

Oh that's so kind

But you know what would be even kinder

See that tragically beautiful girl

The one in the chair

It seems so unfair

We should go on a spree

And not she

Gee

I know someone would be my hero

If that someone were to go invite her

Well maybe I could invite her

Oh Biq really

You would do that for me

I would do anything for you Miss Galinda

So

So I'll be picking you up around eight

After all

Now that we've met one another

It's clear we deserve each other

You're perfect

You're perfect

So we're perfect together

Born to be forever

Dancing through life

Oh Elphaba isn't it wonderful

Finally for this one night

I'm about to have a fun night

With this Munchkin boy Galinda found for me

And I only wish there were

Something I could do for her to repay her

Elphaba see

We deserve each other

And Galinda helped it come true

We deserve each other

Me and Boq

Please Elphaba try to understand

I do

Listen Galinda

Nessa and I were talking about you just now

And I was just talking about you

I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight

It's really uh sharp don't you think

You know black is this year's pink

You deserve each other

This hat and you

You're both so smart

You deserve each other

So here out of the goodness of my heart

Listen Nessa

Yes

Uh Nessa

I've got something to confess a

Reason why well

Why I asked you here tonight

Now I know it isn't fair

Oh Boq I know why

You do

It's because I'm in this chair

And you felt sorry for me

Well isn't that right

No

No it's because uh because

Because you are so beautiful

Oh Boq I think you're wonderful

And we deserve each other

Don't you see this is our chance

We deserve each other

Don't we Boq

You know what

Let's dance

What

Let's dance

Dancing through life

Down at the Ozdust

If only because dust

Is what we come to

And the strange thing

Your life could end up changing

While you're dancing

Through
