Who Is Dorothy in Wicked 2
Let’s talk about the girl everyone knows. Dorothy Gale. She’s the big, sparkly elephant in the room of Wicked 2. You know her from The Wizard of Oz, but in this sequel? She’s a villain.
Wait, what? Yes, you read that right. In Wicked, the green-skinned Elphaba is the misunderstood hero. Dorothy? She’s the accidental antagonist. She steps on toes—literally and politically.
Think about it. Dorothy melts Elphaba’s sister with a house. Who does that? Then she steals Elphaba’s ruby slippers. And nobody even says “sorry.” She’s the ultimate oblivious tourist.
The Girl Behind the Gingham
Dorothy isn’t evil. She’s just really lucky. She’s a small-town farm girl who falls into a fantasy world and becomes a superstar. Meanwhile, Elphaba studied magic her whole life and gets labeled “The Wicked Witch.”
Here’s the funny part: Dorothy doesn’t even know she’s causing drama. She just wants to go home. She’s like that friend who shows up uninvited, eats your last cookie, and then asks for a ride to the airport.
In Wicked 2, Dorothy shows up as a teenager from Kansas. She’s not the brave hero we remember. She’s scared, confused, and holding a bucket of water. That water is going to cause problems.
