This is awesome! They actually tried to make the witch look like the original in the wizard of oz. their voice even sounded very alike. I admire the efforts seeing as Margaret Hamilton is no longer alive!

Oh man she's without a doubt one of the scariest villains ever. She terrified me as a kid!

coolcat: But she LIVES! The 90's toon, the musical version of Wicked, and her fanbase keeps her around (plus, as I said, like any "good villain" [double double meaning], Elphie will ALWAYS find a way to return).

thanks alot for the ending of wicked jerk

I know but i feel sad because Glinda never knew that Elphaba lived

Also, in 1990, there was a short-lived one-season cartoon, in which Dorothy came back to Oz to help her friends save The Wizard. Oddly, the show's villain was a revived Wicked Witch, as Christery/Nikko/Truckle (whomever he's called) and remaining others revived her and she used the Wicked West Wind to blow The Wizard off-course whilst she stole Scarecrow's diplomatic brains, Tin Man's heart, and Lion's medal of courage, reverting the three back to how they were before they got those items.

She was a munchkin.... A Sleepy Head... "Wake up, you Sleepy Heads, rub your eyes, get out of bed, wake up the Wicked Witch is dead!"

@BrideofthePhantom I agree. The Wicked Witch was not Elphaba back in 1939. She was always evil.

Wicked Witch: How about a little fire, scarecrow! Scarecrow: Help! Help! I'm burning! Dorothy: Don't you dare hurt my friends(frows bucket of water) Wicked Witch: (screams )look what you done, I'm melting ,melting oh what a world what a world who could of thought a little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness. I'm going oh!🌈🐕👠🐱👧👽

Patsluvs: Baum's witch was an un-named one-eyed hunchback. Wicked is based on the MGM film, which is in itself, different from its book inspiration. egallity: The thing is...the Baum book is radically different from the MGM film that inspired Wicked. Besides, with Baum dead and Oz pretty much in public domain (since Gregory wrote Wicked using characters from the MGM version of Baum's tale), Wicked can be a prequel as long as its creators say it can be (and they do).

Anyway...what this all means is that though they're all inspired by the original Baum book, the MGM film and subsequently, the 1990 cartoon and Maguire's Wicked are all different from the book that inspired it all. Thus, since Oz is in public domain and its creator's desendants probably allowed Maguire to use creative license, if Maguire wishes to have his book be a prequel & continuation to the MGM film, then so be it, because really, all Wicked is is another side of the all-too-famous story.

scooterviii: The 1990 "Wizard of Oz" cartoon from DiC entertainment that aired on ABC (and eventually, ToonDisney).

If you read Baum's book, and Wicked, you would know Gregory Maguire based Elphaba on Baum's original witch as well, including having bees and wolves go after Dorothy and her friends. MGM doesn't think Margaret Hamilton's witch had any good intentions. When Margaret played her, she didn't play the witch as having Elphie's past. Elphaba is a re-imagining of the witch, and Wicked is an imagining of a possible past, a possible prequel.

Best melt i ever seen besides wicked!

I used to wonder why the guards were so mean, but then praised Dorothy for killing the witch. Then I learned that the guards that served her were only mean because of the witch's evil magic hold on them. When the witch died, so did the evilness in the people and creatures that served her.

Wizard of Oz

Daniel Willey do you have the full production of this?!!!! Please

You know what? When Disney did a read-along book of this tale, it was drawn ala the original Baum book and therefore, included the silver shoes, Tattypoo (the ORIGINAL Good Witch of the North), the bees, the wolf-like hounds, crows, et al. However, the songs included in the story were from the MGM film wherein the silver shoes became ruby slippers, Tattypoo and Glinda were merged, and Wicked Witch only used The Jitterbug, Winged Monkeys, and Winkie Guards, as her civil servants.

im going to try out for mrs.glutch in the wizard of oz auditions @ school

She plays a damn good witch!

I invite you to check out the other video I have up of her in Munchkinland. I think you might change your mind. You have to understand, this was a guest dress rehearsal, and the timing was not properly worked out with the water, dialogue, and the people running the trapdoor. They moved to fast, so she had to breeze through the lines before she disappeared.

Oh my gosh that was like the movie

Dihydrogen Monoxide claims another victim!

did u know someone used elphaba's name in a play of the wizard of oz?

I am completely and utterly sure... why?

Well, if I were the stage prop manager, although the pyrotechnic effect of the Witch's "fire" was pretty good, I would have put real water in a small bucket, so that when the bucket was thrown at the witch, it would be like real water, she gets wet, and you know what happens when the Wicked Witch gets hit with water--she melts, like what happened here.

I don't think that's really all too feasible. I'll upload some more clips (highlight songs and such) if I get time, but the whole thing would be a lot of work my computer cannot handle right now.

Elphie is, but the Wicked Witch of the West isn't. Remember, this is a different story, as it was originally written.

what a sick audience!!! If i was there i would march upon that stage and say "HOW COULD YOU PEOPLE B SO CRUEL! WHY WOULD YOU CHEER WHEN A GOOD PERSON IS DYING! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!" or er she actually went through a trap door, BUT STILL!

This is where I disagree and stay true to the book and MGM film, because it seems to flow better that Elphie was killed and then--through magic--was revived. The 90's 'toon proved her resurrection possible, years before "Wicked".

the Wicked Witch of the West isn't actually wicked, Glinda wanted to tell everyone that Elphaba wasn't a bad parson, but Elphaba knew that everyone would turn against her and kill Glinda but Elphaba told Glinda not to tell anyone that bacuase then Glinda would die, so instead, Elphaba wanted Glinda to live and she would die.

I wasn't in it, but my sister was.

Hey! It was an accident! We didn't mean to splash water on you! We just wanted to put the fire out! We did get your shoes though.

@DanielRoss - Could we get an upload and or a way to get me the entire production of this Wizard of Oz stage show?

Thankfully (despite claims otherwise), Wicked CAN--IMO--still be a prequel (and continuation) of the film despite inconsistancies, because Elphie went insane anyway (in both the book and musical [not so much in the latter, though])...so some of her stuff may've been made up (for example, I would like to think that Elphie DID die, but like all GOOD VILLIANS can NOT truly be killed, hence her revival...just like the 90's cartoon that was also based on the MGM classic).

true...

ohhhh yeah...

How did that smoke come from the witches hand?

AmuseMe: Look up "Wizard of Oz (1990)". It was produced by ABC. 'Tis just too bad that, in the cartoon, Elphie STILL is batty and wanting to stop Dorothy--who comes back--from doing good (in this case, saving the Wizard from the 'wicked' sense of justice Elphaba has). Here's the opening: youtube. com/watch?v=WgqGa5yOGQY

Jack Haley, who played Tin Man in the movie, played more emotion than this community theater tin man.

I do hate it when girls who play dorothy try to mimic Judy Garland. Face it, it can't be done!

Daniel Wally did u saw witch came from her hand in fire smuke

But here she hurts fiyero and i dont think that she would do that because he loves him... that is the greatest difference between musical an this film...

goodbye cursed witch hahahahahaha

I found three flaws 1)The special effects guy was too late with the smoke 2)As the witch went throught he trap door,on the last moment you could see her crawling to the other side of the stage 3)The witch dropped her broom way too late

Lmfao the audience CLEARLY doesn't know proper audience etiquette.

Is the full version of available?

ooo oops lol. what did she play?

who were u in this again?

S2:E26 The Great Schubert’s Guessing Game Little Einsteins June catches spaghetti

i know, confusing.

hah. idk who you are but you are hilarious...

I'm not gonna say this is Wicked (though, I am a total fanatic!) Becuase it's not. This is meant to be the Wizard of Oz, and that's what it is. If I may just say one thing... Dorothy here, is *really* annoying. The voice is way overdone. Still, love it! ~~WWOW

ahhh cool. was she Dorothy?

Omg......Your Joking Right?

coolcat: Meh...Glinda was two faced, anyway. :D

i know....i think of it that way but its funny....so the scarecrow is kind of acting right.

Can't have a 6 year old Dorothy, hehe.

Why is all the action obscured by the backs (and sides) of the actors? If we didn't know what was happening, we'd never be able to make it out. Very sloppy staging! Tsk, tsk, tsk. (Nice costumes, though.)

ik LOL weird accent

i also hate how she just drops the broom like that. looks too planned out.
