Thanks to Wicked, we know the story of Elpheba and Glinda’s unlimited friendship. In Elphie, we learn what the Wicked Witch of the West was like before she met Galinda. And now it is time for the Good Witch to tell her tale before she became the Girl in the Bubble.
Gregory Maguire, the author of the Wicked franchise, will be releasing his newest novel, Galinda: A Charmed Childhood, in the Fall.
Harper Collins describes it as: “Who was Glinda the Good Witch before she floated down in her bubble to greet Dorothy? Who was Glinda before she became Elphaba Thropp’s magnetic and popular roommate at Shiz University?
“Well, before then, she was Galinda. With a ‘ga.’
“Galinda reveals the girl behind the bubbly, shallow cliché—offering fans of Wicked their first richer glimpse into the life of a beloved and iconic character.”
Now, who is going to turn Elphie and Galinda into Broadway musicals so I can get the movies?
