What role does Glinda the Good Witch play in 'The Wizard of Oz'?
The source of Dorothy's worst nightmare and most steadfast hope is the role played by Glinda the Good Witch in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Glinda gives the slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East to Dorothy Gale in the beloved 1939 film version, but not the original 1900 book edition, of "The Wizard of Oz." This puts Dorothy in direct conflict with the Wicked Witch of the West, who knows about the shoes' powerful magic. Dorothy ultimately succeeds in defeating the witch, but not in figuring out how to get back to Kansas. But it turns out that Glinda does.

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.
