"The Wizard of Oz" is the children's film upon which the musical "Wicked" is loosely based.

Specifically, the former film was released back in 1939. It was based upon the original book written by Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) and published in 1900. Almost 100 years later, Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954) published "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West." All three sources have been incorporated loosely into the musical "Wicked."

Will there be a film about the Wicked Witch of the East?

There well may be a film about the Wicked Witch of the East if the success of the musical 'Wicked' continues. Within the next couple of years, there may be a film version of the popular musical based on the popular book of the same title. Any film version will concentrate on the interaction between Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West; and on Glinda the Good. But just as in the play and the book, there's room for Nessarose, the Wicked Witch of the East.
