Does Glinda get married?
The Goat’s death also prompts Glinda to re-evaluate her life, and she dedicates herself to studying sorcery, at which she proves to be quite skilled. It is stated that she marries Sir Chuffrey in the second half of the novel, and they have no children.
Why is Glinda’s dress blue in Wicked?
It’s actually filled with color. The color that I was responding to was from looking at stones in the earth and gems. The design of her dress is layers that are built with over 40 yards of fabric that are stitched together to have a continuous sense of being from the earth.

Life had given her so much, but she could only focus on the things that she had lost, which I believe would have clouded any reconciliation with Elphaba. You’ve worn the iconic silver shoes and Elphaba’s 35-pound dress.
