It isn't arguable.
You keep saying this as if it’s some sort of revelatory statement. It’s not.

"Um...yes" was a stupid answer on your part.
Judging by your newest post where you now admit none of this exists without Baums' original work, I've educated you and you may now edit your original reply.

Bitch, your stupid “um…no” statement was made to someone who stated that the musical is based on the retelling, not the original story. That’s a fact. Your sensitivity to the retelling is making you retarded.

At least you are now admitting my statement is inarguably true: None of this exists without Baums' original hard work.

It's honestly shocking that people are taking issue with this statement. I think Wicked is a fantastic play, but this comment is clearly and obviously accurate.

Nah....it's 2024 and this is a message board.
Some are honestly taking issue and some are sht-posting.
As for me, I spit on "Wicked" and everything about it, mainly because I have such admiration for unique, creative minds.
Baum/Tolkien etc. created such incredible, unique, vast worlds and I'm not a fan of people taking those ideas, perverting them, adding a few rhinestones and crowing about THEIR "original" works, especially when it is so blatantly disrespectful and offensive towards the original.
I'm a creator and I understand who hard it is to do anything even remotely approaching original and I know Baum would be repulsed at what many have done to his works.
To each his/her own.

I think Wicked is pretty respectful of the source material. Sure, it changes the motivations and intentions of many characters, but it doesn't spit all over the original work.
There's a retelling of Beowulf out there put out by some feminist psycho that is absolutely egregious. This ain't that.

I think Baum would have been upset with the beastiality and sex in general in the novel.

You are probably correct. I haven't actually read the book and was specifically talking about the play.

Understood, but to me, they are simply one and the same poisoned fruit.

The ruby red slippers really pisses you off as it defeats the original metaphor... I'm sure.

If anybody thinks this isn't gonna be some empowering woke garbage is delusional.
