Who is Glinda in 'The Wiz'?

Answer 1

In the original 1900 book edition of The Wizard of Oz, Glinda the Good Witch has red hair. For she rules over the Red Quadling Country of the South in the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz. In the beloved 1939 film version, she looks blonde. She wears a beautiful, old-fashioned dress that's more or less form-fitting above the waist, and full and long skirted below the waist. Either way, her commitment to her Quadling subjects and to the peoples of Oz is clear. Likewise is her intention to use her magical powers to the fullest, and to the well-being of the residents of and visitors to her world. And so she has access to a powerful book that tells her everything that happens to everyone, in and of her world, throughout all times and places.

Answer 2

Glinda is one of the two '''main characters''' in the musical play "Wicked." Specifically, the audience meets Glinda when she still is called by her birth name of Glenda. During her college years at Shiz University, she changes her name to "Glinda," to honor the memory of Professor Dr Dillamond, a sentient goat who has his own ways of pronouncing names and words. By the end of the musical play, Glinda has become the '''most powerful sorceress''' in all of the magical lands of Oz.

Answer 3

According to the original book published in 1900, Glinda was the Good Witch of the South. The 1939 film version eliminated the position of the Good Witch of the South. The Good Witch of the North rremained nameless in the book. In the film, she was given the name of Glinda.

Answer 4

Dee Dee Bridgewater (b. May 27, 1950) on Broadway and Lena Horne (June 30, 1917 - May 9, 2010) in the movie are the singer/dancer/actresses who played Glinda in "The Wiz."

Specifically, the character played by Dee Dee and Lena is the Good Witch of the South. She is one of four sister witches, of whom the others are Addaperle (The One), Evillene and Ewamean. She makes just one appearance in the stage musical, at the end.
