Well, it depends on what cast you are referring to. Ig you are referring to the original Broadway Cast, then Glinda is played by Kristin Chenoweth. Another person who has played Glinda is Megan Hilty in the Broadway touring cast of 2006.
That is a vague question, which fairy could pertain to either G(a)linda or Elphaba, another thing that would help you determine whom the who is, would be a specific date and place, as to who is playing which role where.
Here are some basic answers:
The Original Glinda: Kristin Chenoweth....now played by Katie Rose Clark
The Original Elphaba: Idina Menzel.....now played by Mandy Gonzalez

There's no character named Melinda in either the original 1900 book edition or the 1939 film version of "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, the only character with a similar name is Glinda the Good Witch. Glinda also appears in "Wicked," the successful novel and musical based upon "The Wizard of Oz." In "Wicked," author Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954) introduces a character who is in neither "The Wizard of Oz" book or film and who has a name similar to Melinda: Melena is the mother of Elphaba Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the West.

Wicked World - song - was created in 1970.
There have been many Glinda's over the year, but the original was Kristin Chenoweth.
The characters are the same. Wicked's about Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda before Dorothy's house dropped in. You only see Dorothy's silhouette in Wicked. Also, Wicked is centered around the friendship of the Wicked Witch (Elphaba) and Glinda.
No, Glinda and Elphaba are only friends. Elphaba and Nessarose are sisters.
The wicked witch of the West's name is Elphaba Thropp, and her sister (the wicked witch of the East)'s name is Nessarose. and glinda's name is actually Galinda Upland, as revealed in Wicked.
Elphaba, Glinda and Nessarose are witches who attend Shiz University in the musical "Wicked."Specifically, Elphaba and Nessarose are the Thropp sisters from Munchkinland. They become known respectively as the Wicked Witches of the West and of the East. Glinda is from the Quadling Country. She becomes known as Glinda the Good.
Just under 170 is the number of times that Glinda has lines in "Wicked."Specifically, this does not include the number of times that Glinda breaks into song. Each time that she speaks, Glinda has about three to five things to say. But the number of sentences probably totals less than 500.
