It is a show about the untold story of Glinda, the Good Witch, and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. Elphaba is a young woman who is born green and thus is an outsider. Her different appearance leads the people of Oz to misjudge, stereotype and ostracize her. As the characters journey through Oz, they develop the courage to overcome stereotypes and realize the true meaning of friendship. Definitions: • Misjudge: Be wrong about, get the wrong impression, mistake. • Stereotype: A generalization, usually exaggerated or oversimplified and often offensive, that is used to describe or distinguish a group. • Ostracize: Ignore, snub, shun, exclude Main Characters in Wicked: • Glinda – Becomes the Good Witch • Elphaba – Becomes the Wicked Witch • Nessarose – Elphaba’s sister • Boq – Fellow student at Shiz University • Madame Morrible – Head Mistress at Shiz University • Dr. Dillamond – Instructor at Shiz University • Fiyero – Fellow student at Shiz University • The Wonderful Wizard of Oz – Leader of Oz • There is much more to the character of the Wicked Witch of the West than the stories we have all seen and heard. Because Elphaba dares to oppose the establishment (The Wizard), she is demonized – falsely labeled “wicked.” The act of spreading false or misleading information to further a political cause is called propaganda. • Wicked can be analyzed in relation to the Holocaust. Scapegoating is blaming a group that isn’t really responsible for a problem, in order to distract public attention from the need to fix or solve the problem. In Dr. Dillamond’s history class, he points out that the anti-animal movement began when the animals were blamed for the Great Drought. Clearly, the animals were held responsible for something that couldn’t have been their fault. Wicked uses the situation of talking animals as a symbol for the oppression of minorities (Who literally lose their voices). The parallel can be seen with the plight of Jewish people during the Holocaust as they became political scapegoats throughout Europe. In the musical, Wicked, Dr. Dillamond is a literal "scapegoat." The characters in Wicked deal with moral dilemmas and ethics in a way that is unique among Broadway shows. The show shines a new perspective on the classic tale, The Wizard of Oz.

  • The Good, the Bad, the Wicked: Lessons from Oz”
    “The Good, The Bad, The Wicked: Lessons from Oz” by Dr. Brian Howell Assistant Professor of Anthropology , Wheaton College What could be a more unambiguous, self-identified portrait of evil than a green faced Witch surrounded by creepy flying monkeys? Her very name, the Wicked Witch of the West, sets the tone pretty clearly. She’s Bad; Glinda is Good; the wizard is a bumbler but a well-intentioned guy and Dorothy is haplessly caught in the middle. But the hottest ticket on Broadway says, “Not so fast.” Perhaps having a green face and wearing unfashionable black hats is not enough to make you Wicked. In fact, perhaps “goodness” and “wickedness” are not such clear-cut categories at all. In a musical “prequel” to the film “The Wizard of Oz,” the audience is challenged to re-evaluate the judgements of good and evil, tapping into the powerful cultural theme of authenticity at the same time. The Broadway musical “Wicked” is based on a book of the same name that tells the story of Elphaba (nee The Wicked Witch of the West) and her early history in the land of Oz. Born an unnatural shade of green due to the dalliances of her mother, Elphaba is misunderstood and ostracized, particularly when enrolling in a boarding school for aspiring Witches and Wizards (Shiz Academy). There she finds herself rooming with Galinda (later to become Glinda, The Good Witch), who inspires her to travel to the Emerald City in order to meet the Wizard. Elphaba, you see, has true magical gifts, and her only dream has been to meet and work with the Wizard, the Great and Powerful Oz.

The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations. Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as "historical" in the children's library; for the time has come for a series of newer "wonder tales" in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incidents devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale.

Foreman A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Communication Studies at Liberty University May 2013 Foreman 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, to “my Dearest, Darlingest Momsy and Popsicle,” and to my brother Gary, thank you so much for your constant support, encouragement, direction and love. I appreciate your words of wisdom and advice that always seem to be just what I need to hear. To each of my fellow graduate assistants, thank you for “dancing through life” with me. Thank you for becoming not only co-workers, but also some of my best friends. To my thesis committee – Dr. William Mullen, Dr. Faith Mullen, and Dr. Lynnda S. Beavers – thank you all so much for your help. This finished thesis is, without a doubt, the “proudliest sight” I’ve ever seen, and I thank you for your time, effort and input in making this finished product a success. Finally, to Mrs. Kim, and all of my fellow “Touch of Swing”-ers, who inspired my love of the Wicked production, and thus, this study. For the long days of rehearsals, even longer nights on tour buses, and endless hours of memories that I’ll not soon forget... “Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better? I do believe I have been changed for the better. And because I knew you, I have been changed for good.” Foreman 3 In Memory Of… Lauren Tuck May 14, 1990 – September 2, 2010 “It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime, so let me say before we part, so much of me is made of what I learned from you.

    THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ & GLINDA OF OZ PDF, EPUB, EBOOK L. Frank Baum | 304 pages | 06 Jul 2012 | Wordsworth Editions Ltd | 9781840226942 | English | Herts, United Kingdom The Wonderful Wizard of Oz & Glinda of Oz PDF Book She explains "I have lived here many years Glinda plays the most active role in finding and restoring Princess Ozma , the rightful heir, to the throne of Oz, the search for whom takes place in the second book, The Marvelous Land of Oz , although Glinda had been searching for Ozma ever since the princess disappeared as a baby. Baum's children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz refers to Glinda as the "Good Witch of the South"; she does not appear in the novel until late in its development. With the army quickly approaching Finley, China Girl, and finally Oz fall after her. She was old then and considered ugly by the cruel King Oz, thus causing him to brand her a witch. And Instead initiated a long grueling search across all the land of Oz, for the rightful ruler of royal blood. As the series draws to an end, Glinda telepathically contacts and saves Dorothy from falling to her death from a tower, following a confrontation with the Nome King and his minions. It is revealed that she wishes to wed Aiden, the Wizard of Oz. Glinda occasionally exhibits a more ruthless, cunning side than her counterparts or companions. In the books, Glinda is depicted as a beautiful young woman with long, rich rare red hair and blue eyes, wearing a pure white dress.

  • Rinkitink in Oz
    RINKITINK IN OZ Wherein is recorded the Perilous Quest of Prince Inga of Pingaree and King Rinkitink in the Magical Isles that lie beyond the Borderland of Oz By L. Frank Baum “Royal Historian of Oz” Rinkitink of Oz Introducing this Story Here is a story with a boy hero, and a boy of whom you have never before heard. There are girls in the story, too, including our old friend Dorothy, and some of the characters wander a good way from the Land of Oz before they all assemble in the Emerald City to take part in Ozma’s banquet. Indeed, I think you will find this story quite different from the other histories of Oz, but I hope you will not like it the less on that account. If I am permitted to write another Oz book it will tell of some thrilling adventures encountered by Dorothy, Betsy Bobbin, Trot and the Patchwork Girl right in the Land of Oz, and how they discovered some amazing creatures that never could have existed outside a fairy-land. I have an idea that about the time you are reading this story of Rinkitink I shall be writing that story of Adventures in Oz. Don’t fail to write me often and give me your advice and suggestions, which I always appreciate. I get a good many letters from my readers, but every one is a joy to me and I answer them as soon as I can find time to do so. “OZCOT” at HOLLYWOOD in CALIFORNIA, 1916. L.

  • 2008 ARF David Ogilvy Awards Case Study
    2008 Sports/Entertainment/Media Gold Winner TITLE OF CASE STUDY: Sci Fi Channel Tin Man Mini-Series Business Situation and Campaign Objectives Every winter since 1998, the Sci Fi Channel premieres a new mini-series, such as Stephen Spielberg’s Taken. Tin Man, the 2007 mini-series, was created as a re-imagination of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, offering viewers a familiar story with a modern twist. The goal of the Tin Man marketing campaign was to successfully launch the series to achieve ratings success for both the event itself as well as the network overall. The objectives were to 1) create awareness of the series among both viewers of the Sci Fi Channel and among those who do not typically watch the channel, but would be interested in the series and 2) generate interest in the series among consumers that would motivate them to tune in for the premiere and subsequent episodes. With the mini-series, we also wanted to bring new viewers to the Sci Fi Channel, and offer a program that would be equally appealing to both men and women. It was particularly important that Tin Man perform well because one of the channel’s goals for 2007 was to improve our competitive ranking from #7 in 2006 to #6 in 2007. In order to have a singular perspective for marketing that would deliver a broad, network growing audience, we thought about our target simply as anyone who has ever loved The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Based on this, our strategy was to create a cool, imaginative marketing campaign in order to promise a cool, imaginative mini-series about a familiar story.
