Going to see Wicked-

I have read the Baum book, and some of the sequels. I never enjoyed them as much as the MGM musical, but it was mostly plot and some tone changes - if I recall - and not two things that purposefully contradicted one another.

But that's all apples and oranges. My beef isn't with Wicked the Musical not matching Wicked the Book (though I think it's flawed because of that) ... rather it's with Wicked the Musical not matching its ultimate source material, the Wizard of Oz --- book or movie.
