Actually, there is a few references to wicked, but It's just the same if you've only seen the old musical movie. It's mainly based on the wizard of Oz movie, since in Wicked (and also in the original books) Glinda is actually the witch of the South. Funny fact not many people know...THe north witch is good, but actually nameless. THe combined her character and Glinda's in the old moovie to same movie on actors and cut the scenario shorter. So that part at the end where she meets Glinda again and Glinda tells her to clap her shoes three times...All viewers wonder...Why the heck didn't she mention that BEFORE? Well, it's mainly because there's originally two witches.

I think it's also funny that the movie cast in both Oz and Dorothy's real world are the same, creating some kind of warped reality. In the movie, Oz is a dream, and it contains freudian elements (such as the tranposition of known faces to unknown personas)where as in the original books by Baulm, Oz is not a dream, and Dorothy returns (kinda like Alice, who returns and becomes queen.)

...

Okay, that was my boring and geeky Oz talk. I'm just an enormous fan of fairy tales and stories like Peter Pan, Alice and Oz.
