Why was the witch mean in the Wizard of Oz?
The Wicked Witch of the West is the foil, the complete opposite of Dorothy Gale. That opposition is more apparent in the beloved 1939 film version than in the original 1900 book edition of The Wizard of Oz. In the film, the Witch appears soon after Dorothy's farmhouse lands in the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. From the moment that Dorothy gets the Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East, she is perceived as the enemy of the Wicked Witch of the West. Until her death therefore, the Wicked Witch of the West is Dorothy's antagonist and her nemesis.
Why isn't the wicked witch of the east on the wicked CD?
"The Wicked Witch of the East" sung by Nessarose, Elphaba, and Boq is a missing song from the album. Producers deemed too difficult to arrange for the album and that they thought the song would give too much of the plot away to an audience who had never seen wicked before.
What was the Witch in The Wizard of Oz?
Originally, there were at least six or seven witches in the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. For there originally were four Wicked Witches. But Mombai, the Wicked Witch of the North, was succeeded as ruler over the purple country of the Gillikins by the unnamed Good Witch. In the author's 1902/1903 stage version, the Good Witch was called Locasta. Towards the end of the 1900 book edition, the story was told of Gayelette, the beautiful princess and powerful sorceress of the North. Gayelette may have been either a totally different witch, or the youthful version of the Good Witch. The Wicked Witch of the South was ruler over the red country of the Quadlings. She was succeeded by Glinda the Good Witch. The Wicked Witch of the East was ruler over the blue country of the Munchkins. In the much later novel Wicked, readers learned that her name was Nessarose Thropp. She ruled until her death by having Dorothy Gale's farmhouse land on top of her. And the Wicked Witch of the West was ruler over the yellow country of the Winkies. Also from Wicked, readers learned that her name was Elphaba Thropp, the sister of Nessarose. She ruled until she melted into nothingness from Dorothy Gale's fatal bucketful of water. She was succeeded by the Tin Woodman as ruler over Winkieland.

In the much later 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West', we learn that the Wicked Witch of the East has a name: Nessarose Thropp. She is the daughter of the ruler of Munchkinland, and the descendant of the powerful and wealthy Eminent Thropp of the same place. As such, she is born in Munchkinland, a country in the easternpart of the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. As a native of the land, and as the daughter of a prominent family, she succeeds her father Frexspar as the Ruler of the Munchkins.
What was the Wicked Witch of the West's name in the movie The Wizard of Oz?

The posthumous 1939 film version similarly maintained a silence as to any name other than Wicked Witch of the East. However, decades later, author Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] gave the name of Nessarose Thropp to the Wicked Witch of the East, and of Elphaba Thropp to the Wicked Witch of the West.

What is the moral lesson of the musical 'Wicked'?
The play 'Wicked' may be considered a prequel to the much earlier book 'The Wizard of Oz'. Among the characters of the original 1900 book edition, and the beloved 1939 film version, of 'The Wizard of Oz' are the Wizard of Oz, the Wicked Witches of the East and of the West, and Glinda the Good Witch. The book by Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] and the play by Stephen Lawrence Schwartz [b. March 6, 1948] explain what happens in the lives of the Wizard, and the three witches, to have set the events of 'The Wizard of Oz' into motion. The play and the book 'Wicked' give us the perspective of Elphaba Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the West, on life as the sister to Nessarose Thropp, the Wicked Witch of the East and her father's favorite. They also give us her perspective on Galinda, the subsequent Glinda the Good Witch and classmate at Shiz University. And they give us her perspective on being the unacknowledged, natural daughter of the Wizard of Oz. And they also give us her perspective on Fiyero, the Munchkinland Prince who shares her love and for whom the play has a surprise ending.
What part does the Wicked Witch of the West play in 'Wicked'?
Answer #1 If you mean the Broadway musical, it is about how Glinda and the Wicked Witch were friends back in school. It has very good songs. Answer #2 The book 'Wicked' and the play of the same name serve as a prequel to 'The Wizard of Oz'. For there's very little that we know about the Witch from either the original 1900 book edition or the beloved 1939 film version. For example, we know that she is the hated ruler of the Yellow Winkie Country of the West. We know that she wants the Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East. And we know that the Wizard of Oz wants both witches dead. So the book and the play give ElphabaThropp, who is the Wicked Witch of the West, a chance to tell her side of the story. As a result, readers of the book and viewers of the play learn about the circumstances of her birth, education, family life, love interests, and passionate causes. There are differences between the book and the stage versions. The book is less sympathetic to Elphaba as sister to Nessarose, the Wicked Witch of the East and her father's favorite; and as the green-skinned outsider to 'decent' society. The play is more appealing, with its more sympathetic presentation and with its most appealing music score.
