Glinda

Today I am going to write a professional performance response about a musical play I watched called “Wicked”. The play is a musical based on the novel called “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West” and is an alternate telling of the classic film known as “The Wizard of Oz” which takes place before Dorothy’s arrival to the Land of Oz and provides a prequel by explaining how Elphaba became the Wicked Witch we have come to know her as and told in her perspective along with the Good Witch of the North, Glinda. I am going to cover my experiences and thoughts before I went to the theater and what it was like going there and my experience watching the play by writing about what opinions did it leave me about certain scenes whether…

The messy part is the part that you need to cook…

Glinda the Good Witch is the one who told Dorothy to keep the shoes from the Wicked Witch of the West. She is also the one who starts the celebration of the witches death. She explains to Dorothy that only pretty witches can be good, this is in fact the only indication that the wicked witch of the west is bad because of her green skin and mole. It is never expressed what the wicked witch actually does to earn her wicked title. After the wizard is proven not to be a wizard at all it is Glinda the…

In Victor Fleming’s film, The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy heavily relies on the advice given to her from the other characters she encounters on her journey back to Kansas. However, not all advice she receives is beneficial or truthful. In many instances, Dorothy is given information from people she trusts, such as the Wizard or Glinda, that is blatantly perfidious. By applying Steven McCornack’s Information Manipulation Theories, we can understand The Wizard of Oz as a description of the purpose of…

At 1:38, the cast is visibly and audibly excited about the arrival of Glinda. This excitement is reflected through the orchestral parts as the flutes play lightly, this continues as Glinda begins to speak at 1:46. Overall these wind instruments are important in providing the undertone that this character is good. They continue to provide a sense of hope as the tone of the music is light and therefore associate this theme with the character of Glinda. This perception is clearly assisted through…

” Vella asked, putting the knife away, much to his objections. “I am Glinda, the Good Witch of the South,” the witch replied. The company of five looked at each other. “I--I thought Evanora was the good witch,” Oz said. Glinda sighed. “Evanora. She is the true wicked witch.” “I knew it!” Vella whispered. “She led everyone to believe that I poisoned the king--my father. But really, it was her,” Glinda explained. Shay cringed internally. Would he ever have good enough judgement to…
