Synopsis
The Wizard of Oz frames a green-skinned woman, making her the Wicked Witch of the West
Elphaba, also known as the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda the Good were once friends during their time at university. Although they initially had a difficult relationship, the two roommates at Shiz University eventually developed a strong connection. Elphaba faced the challenge of fighting against the unfair treatment of animals at the school, displaying her strong principles and impressive abilities in sorcery. Meanwhile, Glinda became preoccupied with her own beauty and her love for Fiyero, a Prince from Winkie Country, which is located in the Eastern region of the Land of Oz. Both Elphaba and Glinda possessed magical talents, and they embarked on a journey to the Emerald City to meet the Wizard of Oz. However, they soon discovered a dark secret about the Wizard, hidden behind the curtain, which left them both shocked. While Elphaba remained unwavering in her resolve, Glinda found herself at a crossroads, torn between a comfortable life in Oz and standing by her fleeing friend, facing a similar uncertain fate.
