1)Why would you need to incorporate Dorothy in a prequel that ends before Dorothy gets there? Dorothy being or not being there doesn't make it less of a prequel. It certainly doesn't make it less of a straight one.
2)I said Wicked was a subversive adaptation. I never said it was an adaptation of the books. It's an adaptation of the movie, with book elements thrown in. A subversive one.
3)All that just makes it a bad straight adaptation. Again, it doesn't make it less of a straight one. The characters are in the position they are in when the movie starts, and the OtGaP explains, perfectly straight, how they got there. Personality traits may inform the straightness or subversiveness, but they are by no means dispositive. There is no commentary about the social assumptions of the audience and no intent to screw with any of those assumptions. It's a straight adaptation.
Just like WoO is a straight adaptation of the novels, despite the many various changes they made to plot and character.
4)Glinda is not full of personality in the movie, stop.

Well, strictly speaking the musical is an adaptation of the book, only it's not The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, but Gregory Maguire's Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West ... Which is, of course, a subversive adaptation of the Wizard of Oz movie, and I'll stop my nitpicking now.
Sorry if you already knew this; I certainly didn't until after I saw the musical, and it wouldn't surprise me if many people don't.no subject
