Her comments on Dr. Dillamond's breakthroughs and her conversation with Boq about the slippers, Glinda and Dorothy Gale are the closest examples of monologues by Elphaba in "Wicked."
Specifically, these two examples are from the original 1995 book edition of "Wicked." The first example occurs about one-third of the way through the story. The second takes place just past the halfway mark.

Which one? My personal favorite is her monologue to Glinda,
"Now wait just a clock tick! I know it may be difficult for that blissful, blonde brain of yours to comprehend that someone like him could choose someone like me. But it's happened. It's real. And you can wave that ridiculous wand all you want; you can't change it! He doesn't belong to you. He doesn't love you, and he never did. He loves me!"
There is no actual monologue in either the book or the play versions of "Wicked" although the performances before, during and after "Defying Gravity" and "I'm Not That Girl" by Elphaba and "No One Mourns the Wicked" and "Popular" by Glinda may be seen as monologue wannabes.
Specifically, a monologue refers to the uninterrupted comments of one person. The literary device of the monologue intends to share such special information as what a main or critical character really thinks. But instead of monologues, the author, the lyricist and the scriptwriter achieve the same results through the actions and interactions in the book and the body language, costumes and songs in the musical.
Elphaba does not really have a certain line long enough for a dramatic monologue. However she has many lines that show her emotion.

A powerful audition monologue for the Wicked Witch of the West could be her iconic line from "The Wizard of Oz," where she expresses her fury over Dorothy's defiance and the loss of her sister's ruby slippers. You might also consider a selection that showcases her determination and cunning, such as her plan to retrieve the slippers and her disdain for the other characters. Highlight her emotional range, from rage to vulnerability, to capture the complexity of her character. Ultimately, choose a piece that emphasizes her ambition and the darkness within her.
