Thanks for including the MadTV sketch, I'd never seen that before! 😅
As I've said before, I'm not a fan of musicals but I DO enjoy a lot of your posts about them, SER. I'd actually like to see the latest two "Wicked" films to get caught up on the pop culture aspect of it all, but mainly to see Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard. I haven't had a crush on him for 30 years fer nuthin'.
I dunno. The Dorothy character is a monster of cinematic history, (and pop culture in general) and I can understand the choice not to develop her more in this case. She would likely have sucked all the air away from the characters this Oz story is really interested in. So I'm fine with it.

The inconsistencies are more annoying than anything, as you noted.
