Indeed, a lot has happened before Dorothy dropped in. The Wicked Witch of the West is Elphaba (Jemma Rix), whose peculiarly green complexion automatically turns her into an outcast from the time of her birth. The Good Witch of the South (or North, depending on which book you quote) is G(a)linda (Suzie Mathers), the helplessly self-absorbed popular girl who is blonde in every possible way. Together with some other characters both oddly familiar and new, their paths cross at Shiz, Oz’s very own magic school, in a time of looming crisis concerning the suppression of animal rights as well as their ability of speech. Elphaba originally comes along as her sister’s chaperone but her fate changes when her innate talents manifest in a fit of anger, evident enough to catch the attention of Madame Morrible (Anne Wood) who immediately takes the girl under her wing and bringing her closer to her life’s greatest dream, which is to meet the wonderful Wizard of Oz (Bert Newton).
