 | | In these works, The Wicked Witch poses the biggest threat to Dorothy Gale, because she covets the magical pair of silver slippers (ruby slippers in the movie) which previously belonged to the Wicked Witch of the East and are now worn by Dorothy. | | | W.W. Denslow's illustrations for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz depict the Wicked Witch as a paunched old woman wearing an eyepatch; her good eye gave her the visual powers of a telescope. | | | As a result, The Wicked Witch of the West's role is made more prominent as she seeks revenge against Dorothy for killing her sister. |

| | Elphaba's deformed yet beautiful sister, Nessarose (later the Wicked Witch of the East, who we know is killed when Dorothy's house falls upon her), also makes an appearance. | | | This is the riveting story of the Wicked Witch of the West, trailing her through her formative years in random locales of Oz, then taking her through college and into the political unrest that plagued Oz after the arrival of "The Wizard." | | | I fell in love with the character of the Wicked Witch, who really isn't wicked at all, but was dissapointed, majorly so, in the ending. |

| | Talkin' Broadway Review: Wicked |
| | Christopher Fitzgerald as the munchkin Boq and Michelle Federer as Elphaba's sister (the future Wicked Witch of the East) provide the show's only grounding emotional moments. | | | Whatever else that show may have been, it was never boring; it's harder to say that about Wicked, the ultimate whitewashed example of how a musical written to pander can even fail at that when it has no centralized guiding force. | | | Depicting the façade and inner workings of the Time Dragon Clock, a predictor or perhaps moderator of fate, the cogs and complex weight systems comprising Eugene Lee's set for Wicked, the new musical at the Gershwin, are unavoidably prophetic: this is a thoroughly mechanical and unmagical musical. |
