Is Ozma's species in the Boomerang version ever clarified? Because I can't be bothered to pay a subscription to Boomerang just to watch the whole series.
What's on your mind?

The Wiz returns to theaters May 18. Tickets on sale now: https://www.fandango.com/the-wiz-re-release-2025-240382/movie-overview
Oz, according to its creator, was real in the books, meaning everyone in it was real too. because of a few things I conclude that the wizard and the professor in the first book are identical twins. 1. in the play version, they are always played by the same actor. 2. both are in or from Kansas. 3. both end up as fake magicians.

The Ozians in Wicked are literally racist! They judged Elphaba by the color of her skin! Also, her good deeds backfired and saw no point trying to defeat the stereotype.
Ozma as an princess becomes a queen of oz. Princess Mombi the witch will bowing from their majesty before Glinda and the Wizard came. But she made in Disney.
Lost in Oz is underrated
(Also this is my first post I'm not planning on posting here much. I'm not a big wizard of Oz fan. I just grew up with Lost in Oz)
Hey, everyone! My name is Ari, and I've been a lifelong fan of the series! With the Wicked movie recently coming out, I realized that lots of people would probably be joining the Oz Wiki and more specifically the Wicked Wiki. If you haven't seen the movie yet, I would highly recommend it, and if you're a fellow fan of the series, you would probably like the Wicked Wiki. I was recently promoted to administrator on the site to oversee and (well) administrate the discussions. But yes, if you're interested, feel free to visit wicked.fandom.com and join us! I hope that our wikis can work together and be part of the Oz community ^^

Fifty years ago, on January 5, 1975, a groundbreaking musical redefined Broadway and inspired generations. The Wiz, with its soulful reimagining of The Wizard of Oz, brought a fresh, vibrant energy to the stage, celebrating Black culture, creativity, and excellence.
🌟From its iconic score, featuring hits like "Ease On Down the Road" and "Home", to its dazzling performances and powerful storytelling, The Wiz remains a cultural phenomenon. It opened doors for Black artists and continues to influence theater, film, and music.
🌟 Today, we honor its legacy, the incredible cast and crew who brought it to life, and the countless fans who've kept its magic alive for half a century. Here's to the enduring spirit of The Wiz—because there’s no place like home!
🌟 Share your favorite The Wiz memories or moments in the comments! Let’s ease on down the road of nostalgia together.
100 years after the events of the 1st movie, it follows the descendants of Dorthy’s freinds, were the tables turn, the Wizard’s descendant is kidnapped by the Warlock of the West, and the descendants of the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion must go to New York, find Dorthy’s descendant and rescue the Wizard’s descendant.

(international crane foundation) so the other night I was rewatching the OG WIzard of OZ and in the tinman scene there is a black crowned crane seen in the background (who looks relatively distressed) so I decided to look into it science there are a lot of random animals in this movie (like a toucan) and doing more research into this I stumbled across the kinda dumb "hanging munchkin myth" but yeah rewatching this scene it seems that there were two different species of cranes on set
In a lot of pics This one is in a lot of the "hAngIng mUnchkiN" stuff they appear to be a sarus crane but its kinda hard to tell
Kinda hard to get any better screenshots of this guy but we can clearly see that it is a different species because we can see that it has black feathers yellowish wingtips and the white lobe on its face in the second screenshot it honestly might have been flapping its wings to make itself look bigger it was probably really distressed
But does anyone know if there's any good places I could look into researching the wellbeing of all of the birds on this set? thnks 4 reading :)
Putting aside the sequels to the original Wicked book (especially since the musical version has a somewhat different ending/outcome), what do you think could possibly come about after Glinda told what she may've and everything else that has happened in the musical's plot.
Where Elphaba and Fiyero may go to, how they may get there, assuming they somehow managed to escape Oz altogether across the impassible deadly deserts, shifting sands, and great sand waste.
How Glinda herself may handle things.
What may happen with Boq the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion.
Assuming that other Oz characters/villains may exist somewhere out there in this version, such as Mombi, Princess Langwidere, General Jinjur, and the Nome King himself, could they likely take advantage of all that has happened and try to take over and conquer all of Oz?
Would Princess Ozma even be found and reclaim her rightful place on the throne?
And whatever else. Do feel free to express your ideas for futures and outcomes, be they bright hopes or dark consequences.

If the Witch of the West herself, Elphaba, could be given a sympathetic backstory, I wonder if the same could be done with Oz's other prominent antagonist, the Nome King himself, Roquat the Red.
And if so, what would be his origin, how he grew up, whether he met other Oz characters, and how he became the King we all know. Feel free to give your ideas and thoughts down below.
