00:00Wicked is a little green stone thrown in a dark, dark ocean.
00:16It all began with the 1900 novel, a literary cornerstone that spawned a legacy of acclaimed
00:22films, books, and musicals.
00:26One of the things that L. Frank Baum himself writes is about the difference between old-time
00:32fairy tales, and he says, I want to modernize the fairy tale.
00:36The fact that there's so many strong female characters, there's so many different characters
00:42in the world of Oz who are powerful.
00:44They changed cinema, they changed the way we think about things, and just Dorothy's
00:50costume is so iconic that you can't see anything even similar to that without thinking of her.
00:55The Wicked Witch is just, I mean, every Wicked Witch since then looks just like her.
00:59I did not really know it was going to be so much about the relationship between Elphaba
01:05and Glinda.
01:06I wanted really to see if someone could become evil, or if in fact, as Glinda says in the
01:13play, have evil thrust upon them.
01:16After all, she has Wicked as part of her name.
01:19It's a capital W, the Wicked Witch of the West.
