...just finishing 'The Secret' and heard from a friend that Wicked is about OZ..and how the wicked witch of the west..was good..but since ppl made fun of her because she was green..she turned evil..and Glinda (sp) was really the evil one--sounds interesting..wondering if anyone else has read it?

No, but I liked the Other Step Sister, by the same offer but through the stepsisters point of view in the Cinderella story

Yeah sounds like your run of the mill liberal crap...
Make sure you don't hurt anyones stinkin' feelings because then if they do bad it can't be blamed on them. The wicked witch of the west was a WICKED witch who happend to be green. Get over it people. Ooo you know what I think calling her green is racist and belittling her maybe she shoudl be called "pigmently challenged." Yes people you can't call green people green anymore or evil people evil anymore after all it's not their fault their evil it's ours. Just like terrorism in the world is Americas fault. Give me a break.

You are kidding right? It was just a cool story. They are all fairytales anyway. Why make anything political?

I haven't read it. My roommate said the book was great but that the play was awful.

Hehehe. It's a conspiracy. Everything is a hidden agenda. LOL Yeah maybe you're right that was a pretty big stretch.

yeah it was quite the stretch.. try reading it before you judge.. you end up with more educated opinions if you don't judge before you check things out.. just a thought :smile:

Yeah a pretty good one too. I'm generally pretty open minded about things I don't even know why I wanted to cause a stir there. Just foolishness I guess. I havn't read it but do any of you remember Tin Man it was a mini series it kinda reminds me a little bit of what you're talking about. Except the wicked witch lived INSIDE of the person and made them look evil.

The Broadway show was great and have just started reading the book. I heard the book is better, though.
