Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has evolved significantly since its 1900 publication, becoming a cornerstone of pop culture through various adaptations, including the new Wicked film.
Wicked tells the backstory of Elphaba and Glinda, diving deep into their friendship before the traditional Oz story, providing a new perspective on what it means to be 'wicked'.
The new Wicked film, directed by Jon M. Chu, begins with Glinda's announcement of the Wicked Witch's death, tying directly back to Baum's original narrative while reimagining its characters.
This movie adaptation, along with its Broadway origins, shows how Elphaba and Glinda's divergent paths lead to their iconic roles in the Oz mythos and the reexamination of these characters.
