When asked whether wickedness is inherent or learned, Glinda explains that the Witch was the product of an affair between Governor Thropp's wife Melena and a mysterious traveling salesman. The salesman offered Melena a green elixir, causing the Witch to be born with green skin. Maligned from birth for her skin and impulsive use of magical powers, the Witch fostered a wish to meet the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the ruler of Oz famed for his power to grant wishes. When the Munchkins ask if Glinda was friends with the Witch, she reflects on their relationship back at school.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Years earlier, green-skinned Elphaba Thropp escorts younger sister Nessarose on her first day at Shiz University. Nessarose's paraplegia causes the staff to patronise her, prompting an emotional outburst of Elphaba's powers. Shiz's Dean of Sorcery Studies, Madame Morrible, offers to enroll and privately tutor Elphaba in sorcery. She accepts, hoping she can fulfill her dream of working with the Wizard. Elphaba clashes constantly with her roommate, the popular Galinda Upland, who longs to become Morrible's student.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Elphaba follows the history professor, Dr. Dillamond, a talking goat who faces discrimination as one of Shiz's last Animal professors, to a meeting of Animals off-campus. Learning the Animals are somehow losing their ability to speak, Elphaba assures Dillamond the Wizard will set it right. Rebellious prince and transfer student Fiyero Tigelaar takes a group of students to a party at the Ozdust Ballroom nightclub. Boq Woodsman, a Munchkin, asks Galinda to accompany him; to ensure she can attend with Fiyero, Galinda convinces him to invite Nessarose instead. Nessarose is overjoyed, and in thanks, Elphaba convinces Morrible to allow Galinda to study sorcery as well. When she is ridiculed at the Ozdust for wearing an ugly black hat gifted by Galinda as a practical joke, a remorseful Galinda dances with her and the two begin to bond.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>When Dillamond informs the class that Animals are no longer allowed to teach at Shiz, he is forcibly removed from the classroom and replaced by the unscrupulous Professor Nikidik who demonstrates a cage containing a frightened lion cub, designed to prevent Animals from learning to speak.

She arrives in the Emerald City with Galinda, now calling herself "Glinda" in misguided solidarity with Dillamond, who constantly mispronounced her name. Their meeting with the Wizard, in which they're surprised to learn he's an ordinary man, is witnessed by Morrible. They urge Elphaba to cast a levitation spell from the sacred Grimmerie, a spellbook that only powerful sorcerers can read and comprehend, causing the Wizard's monkey guards to painfully sprout wings. As the Wizard and Morrible rejoice over their newfound ability to use the monkeys as spies, Elphaba realizes that they are the ones behind the Animals' oppression and that the fraudulent Wizard, unable to read the Grimmerie and lacking real magic of his own, used her to subjugate them further. A horrified Elphaba seizes the Grimmerie and flees.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Glinda follows Elphaba, who refuses to apologize to the Wizard as Morrible denounces her to all of Oz. Elphaba tries to escape the Emerald City in the Wizard's hot air balloon, but the way up is barred and the balloon burns up. High in a palace attic, Elphaba repeats the levitation spell on a broom. She urges Glinda to come with her, but Glinda chooses to remain behind. The two share an emotional farewell before Elphaba flies west. Fiyero leaves Shiz on horseback amidst a mass evacuation while Governor Thropp suffers a heart attack when he and Nessarose receive the news.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Cast<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Jonathan Bailey, Ariana Grande, and Cynthia Erivo (L–R) play Fiyero, Glinda, and Elphaba<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba Thropp, a misunderstood young woman born with green skin who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West[9][10]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Karis Musongole as young Elphaba[11]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Ariana Grande[b] as Galinda "Glinda" Upland, a charismatic young woman who becomes Glinda the Good[c][9][13]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero Tigelaar, a handsome prince from Winkie Country who meets Elphaba and Galinda at school[14][15]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Ethan Slater as Boq Woodsman, a Munchkin in love with Galinda[16][17]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Bowen Yang as Pfannee, one of Glinda's college friends[18]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Marissa Bode as Nessarose Thropp, Elphaba's paraplegic younger half-sister[18]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Cesily Collette Taylor as young Nessarose[19]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Peter Dinklage as the voice of Dr. Dillamond, a talking goat and history professor at Shiz University who befriends Elphaba[20]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Luisa Guerreiro was the movement artist for Dr. Dillamond<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, the Dean of Sorcery Studies at Shiz University[21][22]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Jeff Goldblum as the Wonderful Wizard of Oz[23]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Bronwyn James as ShenShen, one of Galinda's college friends[18]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Andy Nyman as Governor Thropp, Elphaba and Nessarose's father, and the Governor of Munchkinland[24]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Courtney-Mae Briggs as Mrs. Thropp, Elphaba and Nessarose's mother who died after giving birth to Nessarose[25]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Keala Settle as Miss Coddle, the headmistress of Shiz University[26]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Aaron Teoh as Avaric, Boq's friend[27]<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Sharon D.

Glinda Upland, now the Wizard's spokesperson, is engaged to Fiyero Tigelaar, now Captain of the Gale Force.

The Cowardly Lion dissuades them, exposing Elphaba as the reason for the Wizard's flying monkey spies. Elphaba visits her sister Nessarose, who has inherited their father's governorship of Munchkinland. Nessarose prohibits the Munchkins, including her servant Boq, from leaving without her approval. Elphaba enchants Nessarose's shoes, giving her the ability to fly. Boq, deciding Nessarose no longer needs him because of this and having learned of Glinda and Fiyero's wedding, tries to leave Nessarose. She casts a love spell from the Grimmerie, but it backfires, shrinking his heart.

Reaffirming her resolve to fight the Wizard, Elphaba frees the Animals, interrupting Fiyero and Glinda's wedding. Fiyero helps Elphaba escape and joins her.

Morrible, realizing a simple rumor would not fool Elphaba, creates a tornado that takes a house from Kansas, which fatally crushes Nessarose. Glinda gives Nessarose's shoes to the house's occupant, Dorothy Gale, and directs her to the Wizard, promising that he can help her return home. A fight begins between Glinda and Elphaba before the Gale Force arrives. Fiyero intervenes and holds back the guards by threatening to kill Glinda, who finally accepts that he loves Elphaba. While the guards drag Fiyero into a field and savagely beat him, Elphaba escapes with the monkeys to Kiamo Ko, where she casts a spell to save Fiyero's life. Believing she has failed, and lamenting all her previous failed attempts to do right, she decides to embrace her perceived "wickedness".<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Dorothy, alongside Boq, the Lion, and a scarecrow, meets the Wizard, who instructs them to kill Elphaba and bring him her broom.

Glinda rushes to Kiamo Ko to warn Elphaba about the mob. Elphaba kidnaps Dorothy and imprisons her to retrieve the shoes just as Glinda arrives. After Chistery informs them of Fiyero's apparent death, Elphaba decides to surrender, imploring Glinda to withhold the truth from the people and entrusting her with the Grimmerie.

Glinda directs the monkeys to apprehend Morrible for her crimes. She finishes telling her story to the Munchkins and reestablishes rights for the Animals, who get their voices back. The Scarecrow—revealed to be Fiyero, transformed by Elphaba's spell—returns to Kiamo Ko and discovers Elphaba under a trapdoor, having faked her death to ensure that she is never seen in Oz again.
