Why did Elphaba or The Wicked Witch of the West from Wicked set fire to Fiyero or Scarecrow in Wizard of Oz?
The play takes certain liberties with the source material. The book 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' is more closely paired with the movie 'The Wizard of Oz' than the musical is. In the musical 'Wicked' Fiyero becomes the Scarecrow when Elphaba cast a spell for him to never die. In the book, Fiyero does not become the Scarecrow. I the movie, the Scarecrow has no connection to the witch prior to his travels with Dorothy.
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.
From what other play is the play 'Wicked' drawn?
The play 'Wicked' is drawn off of the stage version of The Wizard of Oz. Stephen Lawrence Schwartz [b. March 6, 1948] based his play 'Wicked' on the previous book 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' by Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954].

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.

Who is Loq in OZ?
I assume you meant Boq. In the book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Boq is a rich Munchkin Dorothy spends the night with before she begins her journey. In the book Wicked, Boq is a friend of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. In the play Wicked, Boq becomes the Tinman.
What was the bad witch's name on Wizard of Oz?
It's kind of the point of the story/play that she isn't actually "bad". In fact, it's arguable that the "Good" witch, Glinda, is the true villain. However, assuming you're talking about the green one ... her given name is Elphaba.

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.
Why does the Wicked Witch of the West hate Dorothy?
No, regarding the Wicked Witch of the East; yes, regarding the Wicked Witch of the West. Dorothy Gale doesn't fear the Wicked Witch of the East. For her house falls on top of, and kills, the Witch. But Dorothy fears the Wicked Witch of the West. For she witnesses the Witch's cruelty. Glinda the Good Witch gives Dorothy the Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East. The Wicked Witch of the West wants the Slippers, and will do anything to get them. Dorothy realizes this, and keeps up a brave front in the face of a fearsome foe.
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 play wicked based off of?
Cinderella, Stupid! Panaba's answer: *cough* wow. If you couldn't inference from the GREEN GIRL ON A BROOM WHOSE SISTER HAD A HOUSE FALL ON HER that it was totally NOT Wizard of Oz, then you probably have no chance of anything other than "Would you like fries with that?" -x-x-x-x-x- well that was quite rude...Wicked is Based off of Gregory McGuire's book Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, which is based off of The Wizard of Oz.
