As a longtime aficionado of all things Oz, I find myself intrigued by the enigma that is Dorothy in Wicked: Part One. Having witnessed the evolution of these stories since their inception, I must admit that the ambiguity surrounding Dorothy’s role adds an element of suspense that even Glinda’s magic wand couldn’t conjure up.
Enthusiasts of Wicked and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz are abuzz following a sneak peek of Dorothy in the latest Wicked: Part One movie. Directed by Jon M. Chu, the movie presents a tantalizing scene where Dorothy, accompanied by her faithful companions, the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion, can be seen on the famous Yellow Brick Road. Yet, Dorothy’s brief appearance leaves fans wondering more than it clarifies.
It’s intriguing that no actress is given credit for playing Dorothy in the movie. This could mean her character was possibly developed using CGI or an unnamed extra. This mirrors the Wicked Broadway production, where Dorothy is merely hinted at indirectly. Director Jon M. Chu justified this choice, saying, “I wanted Dorothy to be the way you envision her.” By leaving her role undefined, Chu paves the way for a more substantial role in the upcoming sequel, set for release in November 2025.
In the initial movie, Dorothy’s character is largely confined to the backdrop. Yet, Chu suggests that her involvement carries a greater significance, becoming increasingly apparent as the plot approaches the happenings in The Wizard of Oz. Speculation among fans is rife that the sequel will feature Dorothy interacting with Elphaba (played by Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (portrayed by Ariana Grande), thus weaving the tales of both films more intricately together.
The promotional materials for Wicked have fueled even more curiosity. Some of the marketing visuals depict Dorothy and her companions encountering the Wizard (played by Jeff Goldblum), which are not scenes from the original film. It’s possible that these instances might be set for the sequel, suggesting a more substantial part for Dorothy as the narrative progresses, offering hints about her expanding role.
In the bustling Broadway, Dorothy’s influence is strongest during the peak moment, when she famously splashes water on the Wicked Witch of the West. Yet, the film has ventured beyond its theatrical roots, sparking curiosity among fans about whether her part will expand further in the movies.
Many familiar faces from the original production will be back, but the specific part Dorothy is set to play still hasn’t been revealed. Excited fans can’t wait to see how she interacts with the primary characters in this fresh retelling of the Oz story, as it could bring intriguing depth to the narrative.
