Is Elphaba in the play 'Wicked' real?
No, Elphaba Thropp, who is one of two main characters in the musical "Wicked," is not a real person.Specifically, Elphaba is represented by author Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954) as the Wicked Witch of the West in her youth. The Wicked Witch of the West is a character from "The Wizard of Oz" by author and Royal Oz Histories originator Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919). Baum left no known indication that his Wicked Witch of the West was based on any real person. Maguire likewise has given no indication other than to give to Elphaba a passionate concern for animal welfare. That concern was a lifelong passion of Margaret Hamilton (December 9, 1902 - May 16, 1985), who played the Wicked Witch in the beloved 1939 movie version of "The Wizard of Oz."
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.
