What were the last words of wicked witch of the east?
In the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz' by Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919], Glinda the Good has no recorded interaction with the Wicked Witch of the East. Neither does the audience witness any such interaction between the two in the beloved 1939 film version of 'The Wizard of Oz'. But there are interactions in the novel 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' by Gregory Maguire [b. June 9, 1954]. In one interaction, Glinda tells Nessarose, who ultimately becomes known as the Wicked Witch of the East, to be 'wary'. There's another interaction that the audience learns of at the time of Nessarose's funeral. At the funeral, Glinda reminisces about becoming Nessarose's surrogate sister at Shiz University. In particular, she remembers using a special spell to repair Nessarose's favorite shoes. Glinda then tells Nessarose about 'dazzling' the shoes so the wheelchair bound student can stand up straight all by herself. Glinda's spell eventually enables Nessarose to rule the Free State of Munchkinland. But Nessarose's rule ends when she's crushed to death by the landing of Dorothy Gale's house in the lands of Oz. Was Nessarose not being 'wary' that day?
How old is Nessarose?
Role listings for 'Wicked' auditions give Nessarose's age as 20 to 30. She's younger than Elphaba, whose age is given as 20 to 35. In the book, Nessarose is born 3 years after Elphaba. Elphaba is around 17 when she attends Shiz University.
Are Glinda and Elphaba from Wicked half-sisters?
No, Glinda and Elphaba are only friends. Elphaba and Nessarose are sisters.
