    I would think the flying monkeys would have tried to eat her if she was made of sugar.

    Phantom_Angel2007 is only partially correct. In the play, it was specified that Elphaba (the wicked witch of the west) was thought to have a soul so unclean that water could melt her. But in the book, she was just allergic to water. She had been since birth. And she never really was 'wicked', the Wizard just played it up that way to keep the spotlight off of him for taking the Animals' voices away.

    No, in the musical and book, Wicked: The life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West, it is described that the witches soul was so unclean, that pure water could melt her. When she cried, tears burned, because of the wickedness that she harnessed inside of herself and the wickedness that she was shown all her life for being a bit different (in her case green --since people in the land of Oz were so judgemental.) If you want to hear it for yourself, find the song, "Thank Goodness" on the Wicked soundtrack or read the book, they are both amazing.

    Clearly - the green glow was definitely candy of some sort.
