Yes. Elphaba Thropp, who is the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz, turns Prince Fiyero of Munchkinland into the Scarecrow, to save him from being tortured by the Palace guards of her father, the Wizard of Oz. Elphaba also turns Peter Boq, who is the very important and very rich Munchkin who offers hospitality to Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto in The Wizard of Oz, into the Tin Woodman. She casts her spell, to protect him from being harmed by her sister Nessarose, who is jealous of his love for Glinda the Good Witch, and who is the Wicked Witch of the East in The Wizard of Oz. And Elphaba and Fiyero release a caged lion cub into the forest, to become the Cowardly Lion in The Wizard of Oz. And ever passionate over the rights and well-being of animals, Elphaba gives caged simians the ability to fly as Winged Monkeys. Unfortunately, Madame Morrible, the Wizard's press secretary, gets the Cowardly Lion and the Tin Woodman to see Elphaba as the caster of evil spells. And the Wizard uses the Winged Monkeys to spy on Animals, who difer from animals in their ability to speak. Ironically, the Lion wouldn't have learned to talk if he hadn't been released by Elphaba from his cage.
