I’m just here for the bonus secret. I never paid attention to anything about Wicked and was horribly disappointed when I saw it. Mediocre music, uninspired choreography, oh and yeah, the original hero is a villain and the villain is now a poor hapless victim whose actions were actually reactions and were misunderstood. I couldn’t be rolling my eyes any harder right now just thinking about it. And then at the end of the show they blocked all the exits with cast members holding out buckets for the kids in the audience to give to the Wicked anti-bullying charity. It was so gross.

I think part of the issue is that Wicked is an "adaption" of a book that basically reimagins Oz by grounding the fantasy world of Oz in real socio-political issues based on the way the original novel and movie depicts the world.

and the musical attempts to add songs and digestible lessons to what is a really dense and honestly odd anarcho-communist book.

Yeah, raising awareness against bullying real kids is gross because a musical you don't like villainized a fictional character who technically has never done anything good or bad because they don't really exist. Now I'm the one rolling my eyes.

And which hero are you even talking about? The Wizard? He wasn't a hero in the original. He wasn't as evil as in Wicked, but he was not as heroic as everyone thought, that was kind of the point. Or did you mean Glinda? In which case I think you just weren't paying attention.

Taking people hostage to force them to give you money is gross, that behavior is bad for the non-profit.

I got given the book to read as some kind of feminist...'thing' and loathed it utterly.

I hate the book, but I love the musical. The book is fake-deep and pretentious. The musical gets rid of those elements and is just a fun time.
