No, that's crap. Might as well have a what-if-every-story-was-exactly-the-opposite-of-what-it-was.
The POINT of (the original) Wicked was to show how the Wicked Witch of the West got to be so damn wicked. There were details about her, and an understanding of her character that made her more likeable ... but at no point did they need to claim that The (Wonderful) Wizard of Oz got it completely wrong.
That sort of contrariness simply for the sake of it can be done with any tale, and I find it both insulting and uninteresting.
Triple Quadruple Quintuplet Bah on the Melting of the Wicked Witch being a ploy that NEVER HAPPENED and Elphaba lives happily ever after. Feh.
I know "Wicked" is still playing at the Pantages ... but the show is so old, it is no longer appropriate for spoiler tags, imo.
