Jon M. Chu’s Decison To Make A Wizard of Oz Prequel Was Annonced Back In 2021 (As Highlighted On His Instagram). Given The History And Iconic Status of The Wizard of Oz He Knew He Had To Go Large Right From The Start.

Cynthia & Ariana
Elphaba & GlindaWere Initially Worlds Apart? Are They Eventually United? Together Forever? Or Soon Seperated?
Wicked? Judas? The Kiss of Death?

@arianagrande
Adventure Ensues In Wicked As Things Twist & Turn & Are Not What They Seem. Or Are They…?
The Tall Pointy Black Hat. Is It A Glinda Gift or An Act of Wickedness?

Elphaba Is Ostracised At School For Being Green.
She Also Suffers At Home Because She Is Her Father’s Least Favourite Child. Her Sister Is His Favourite. She’s Called Nessarose And Despite Their Father She’s Close To Her Sister. Nessarose Is Played By Marrissa Bode @marrissabode
And At The Magic School Within The University of Shiz Which She Attends She Is Demonized By The Wicked Wizard. He Condemned As A Witch Because He Is Envious As He Feels Threatened By Her Exceptional Skills, Talent And Potential Supreme Powers. For Good!
So He Falsely Condemns Her For Being Exactly What He Is. Wicked! A Wicked Witch. As A Male Witch He’s A Wicked Wizard. And He Knows It. He Just Has To Convince Others In The Dominion That He Isn’t. And He Does That By Blaming Her.
The New York Times Nov 2024: Never Before Have Two Actresses Ever Been So Connected, Protective And Tactile When Working On A Film Together.

The Newbie & The Original (From The Stage Musical) On The Set of Wicked The Movie.
Cynthia Told Idina That She’ll Never Forget Idina Putting Her Hat On When She Visited The Set And That It Felt Like She Was Giving Her Approval And Passing The Baton.
Judy Garland Starred In The Original Wizard of OZ Movie Released 1939/1940 At The Onset of WWII. She Had Previously Appeared In Black Face As A Child Star In A Movie Alongside Actor Bing Crosby. Such Was The Casual, Ouvert, And Cruel Nature of Racial Discrimination And Stereotyping At The Time.
Black Face Documentary @davidharewood
We’ve Come A Long Way Since Then.
Garland Has Since Publicly Recognised The Error of Her Ways Back In The Day.
And She Has Also Become A Gay Icon (With The Song Somewhere Over The Rainbow From The Film Having Become A Gay Anthem & The Rainbow A LGBT+ Emblem).
Plus, Erivo, As A Black Gay, British Actress of Supreme Talent Is Now Playing The Lead In This Groundbreaking 2024/2025 Wizard of Oz Film And Wicked The Musical’ Prequel’.
But The MAGA Re-Trumplican Administration (Which Officiallly Won The 2024 American Election) Wants To Drag Society All The Way Back Again To The Dark Days of Ouvert Racial Hatred, Stereotyping And Discrimination.
