The musical Wicked serves as a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, but the 2024 movie adaptation doubles as an homage to the 1939 classic with several carefully placed Easter eggs. Of course, with an overlapping setting and characters, there are many overt features of The Wizard of Oz in the new on-screen adaptation. The Wicked Witch, her green skin and pointed hat, as well as her powers and melty fate, are, of course, at the center of Wicked, along with Glinda the Good, the Wizard of Oz himself, and more. However, the musical adaptation managed to hide far more stealthy references here and there.
