Parodies like that are nothing new, and Wicked (stage musical) has been around for a while. You're not supposed to take it seriously. Hell, the magic shoes "allowed her paraplegic sister to walk again," and the jock at the center of a love triangle between Galinda and Elphaba is the guy that becomes The Scarecrow. Also, her death by water was faked.

That said, I'm not saying give this the benefit of a doubt. It's modern Hollywood, fuck them.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but wasn't Idina Menzel well-known for the Broadway production of Wicked as Elphaba before Frozen was even a thing?
