Inspired by that time singer, dancer, actress and black cultural icon Josephine Baker was sailing across the Atlantic on the SS Normandie to take part in the Ziegfeld Follies Broadway musical revue. She heard her equally famous friend, Billie Burke, was on the ship as well, who was not only Ziegfeld’s widow but also a popular actress - you'd probably know her as Glinda the Good Witch in The Wizard of Oz. Josephine invited her to dinner and Billie was said to have agreed.

Josephine entered the first-class dining room in a gown by Erté, causing the room to burst into a standing ovation. Billie arrived shortly after, her entrance gaining an even warmer reception than that of Josephine's. But when she approached Josephine's table, Billie gave her nothing more than a look of distaste and coldly passed her by. But Josephine appeared unbothered and finished her dinner alone. Afterwards, she climbed the grand staircase and caused the audience to once again erupt into another standing ovation as she flashed them a dazzling smile, allegedly saying, “I assume she belongs to the black-hating race.”

I was still debating it by second episode, but now I’m 100% positive.

The characters are absolutely based on the main crew of The Wizard of Oz.

Malcolm is the Tin Man (metal arm, family works in munitions).

Edgar is the Scarecrow (tall, spindly, has burns on his body)

Leo is the Lion (cowardly, foppish, literally named after a lion)

Grimoria is Dorothy, a little girl desperately trying to find a home.

#so that makes Atia the Wicked Witch of the East #corpse that kickstarts the narrative #so is Declan the Wizard??#is Zora Glinda??#this is FASCINATING #critical role #cr spoilers #candela obscura

the fact that Glinda couldn't sleep well the night Elphaba died, even though she didn't know she was dead, that she light up a candle for reasons she couldn't articulate.

they were soulmates. you cannot convince me otherwise

it’s always a good day to bring up the fact that the line ‘kiss me goodbye, I’m defying gravity’ is reminiscent of the fact that elphaba did actually kiss glinda goodbye when she left emerald city in the book

I really need to write a fic where Glinda sees Dorothy and goes "yup. You're my child now." And then after a torturing slowburn her and the wicked witch get together so Dorothy has aunt Em and Uncle Henry at home, and whenever she goes to Oz she has her witch lesbian moms waiting for her.

#they would be such a power couple #also this would make a good twoo/wicked mix #dotothy really needs some affection lets give her two moms why not #at first elphaba would be like “ugh this stupid kid” until she finally warms up and stops being as evil #glinda is the “i can fix her” fr fr #also the scarecrow and the tin man are her gay uncles #dorothy has a whole non biological family in oz and somehow manages to get people together #fanfic idea #dorothy gale #wicked witch x good witch #glinda the good #gelphie #elphaba thropp #glinda upland #the wizard of oz #wicked

So, I know that Wicked the Musical is a different beast than Gregory Maguire’s Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.

They’re different in tone and theme, and they aren’t trying to be the same thing. I usually don’t even think of them in the same breath; Maguire’s Oz is a different world than the one we see on stage.

However, there is one change made for the stage show that I think is a weakening of the story: the decision to have Elphaba fake her death, and run away with Fiyero. I get it, it’s a musical; Elphie melting at the end of her own story is a bummer. But Wicked is a tragedy, and I always thought it was a little bit of a cop-out to give Elphaba a happy ending.

Then I realized something: The book is Elphaba’s story, but Wicked the musical is very explicitly told from Glinda’s point of view. There’s the whole “I did know her once… at school,” thing that turns into an extended flashback.

Maybe Elphaba didn’t fake her death. Maybe the ending of the stage show is Glinda imagining, and hoping, that’s what happened. Perhaps Elphaba turned Fiyero into a scarecrow, and then they ran away together. Maybe it was all Elphaba’s master plan. Probably not. But for Glinda, it’s helpful to imagine — and always, in the back of her mind, to believe that’s what happened.

No one mourns the Wicked. Glinda doesn’t want to mourn. She wants to believe that somewhere, somehow, her friend is still out there.
