I'm an avid Wizard of Oz fan and collector and have been searching through some Oz questions here. Why can't people seem to separate 1). The movie, 2). The L.Frank Baum Books, 3). Wicked the book, and 4). Wicked the Musical? I think they are all works of art and I love all four, but I hate it when people can't seem to separate one from the other. For example, someone asked what the Wicked Witch of the West's name was IN THE BOOK and someone replied Elphaba Thropp! Elphaba is the name Gregory Maguire gave her to honor L. Frank Baum. EL-FA-BA. Or when someone says they can never watch The Wizard of Oz the same way because they read Wicked.
Opinions? I know it's a pet peeve of mine, but I'm curious about what others think.
