In "The Wizard of Oz," there can be no doubt which witch is the worst witch: That would be the one with the army of flying monkeys, who melts upon contact with water. But in "Wicked," the green-skinned spell-caster turns out to be far more sympathetic than Glinda,

Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande) are rivals-turned-friends who head off to see the Wizard of Oz in the fantasy musical "Wicked."
