Glinda also appears in "Wicked," the successful novel and musical based upon "The Wizard of Oz." In "Wicked," author Gregory Maguire (b.

Who is the main character in the musical 'Wicked'?
Boq is in love with Galinda, but ends up unhappily married to Nessarose. He is a very important and very rich Munchkin in the book version of The Wizard of Oz. But in the musical, Nessarose causes him to become the subsequent Tin Woodman of The Wizard of Oz. Chistery is a monkey servant for whom Elphaba cares, because of her particular concern over the rights and well-being of animals. Dorothy Gale is a visitor to the lands and peoples of Oz. She thinks that she has killed Elphaba by throwing water on her, and thereby causing her to melt into nothingness. Dr. Dillamond is one of Elphaba's professors at Shiz University. As a goat that can talk, he's ka an Animal, as opposed to animals that can't talk. Elphaba Thropp becomes the Wicked Witch of the West of The Wizard of Oz. Although the writing of the novel and the stage of the play Wicked take place decades after the original 1900 book and 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz, it may be seen as a prequel. But it provides a clarification on Elphaba's fate. For her supposed end in Oz is actually her beginning elsewhere with fellow student and lover, Prince Fiyero. He becomes the Scarecrow of The Wizard of Oz. Galinda Upland of the Upper Uplands becomes Glinda the Good Witch in The Wizard of Oz. Madame Morrible is the headmistress of Shiz University. Melina is the mother of Elphaba and of Nessarose. She's married to Munchkinland Governor Frexpar, who is a doting father to Nessarose, and abusive stepfather to Elphaba. Nessarose Thropp succeeds her father as Governor of Munchkinland. She becomes the Wicked Witch of the East in The Wizard of Oz. Pfanny and Shen Shen are college girlfriends of Galinda. Professor Nikidik succeeds Dr. Dillamond at Shiz University. The Wizard may be the real father of Elphaba. He's a carnival huckster who becomes the Supreme Ruler of the Emerald City in The Wizard of Oz.

What are the conflicts in the musical 'Wicked'?
Where Elphaba Thropp fits into the scheme of things is the problem in both the book and the stage versions of 'Wicked'. Specifically, Elphaba doesn't fit into society because of her unusual, green tinted skin. Neither does she fit into school because of her compassion for non humans. Nor does she fit into family because of her being the biological result of her mother's extramarital affair with the Wizard of Oz.The problem is solved, in the book and the play, by Elphaba's removal from the immediate scene. In the original book and the musical, Elphaba appears to die under a steadily fatal stream of water. But in the book and the musical, there's the possibility that she'll come back.

What are some descendants of the Wizard of Oz?
Elphaba Thropp and her son Liir may have been descendants of the Wizard of Oz. No information was given in the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz' by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919]. The wizard was presented as a seemingly self sufficient, solitary, street smart senior citizen.But decades later, Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954] published a prequel, 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West'. In that novel, he indicated that the Wicked Witch of the West was given the birth name of Elphaba Thropp. He also suggested that she might have been the illegitimate child of her mother Melena's extramarital affair with the Wizard.In the novel, Elphaba went on to have an affair of her own. She became involved with Fiyero, who was married to Sarima. The result was the birth of Liir, Elphaba's son and the Wizard's grandson.
Was the original cast of 'Wicked' all black?
No, the original cast of 'Wicked' wasn't all black. But a related, all black production was 'The Wiz'. Both 'Wicked' and 'The Wiz' include characters from the original 1900 book and the beloved 1939 film versions of 'The Wizard of Oz'.In 'Wicked' Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, had green skin, which automatically counts her out. Also, according to the play, to make sure Elphaba's mother does not have another green child, her father makes her drink a flour-like mixture and has her eat only white foods, so the daughter, Nessa-Rose, also has white skin.
