The Wizard of Oz is a strange book. Especially because of what so many people did to it in the years after it was written. First, they made a movie of it. That was perfectly acceptable. It's a good movie, too. Even though it doesn't follow the book hardly at all. (Did you know that the origional shoes Dorothy got were silver?) Except, then Gregory Maguire came along an wrote an excedingly disturbing book about how the Wicked Witch (Elphaba) wasn't actually all that bad. Then some one came along and made a musical out of that. Wicked the Musical is TOTALLY awesome. I've seen it twice already. But, like I said before, the book is highly disturbing.
