For all Wicked and Wizard of Oz superfans, it may come as no surprise that Wicked: For Good depicts Dorothy’s iconic ruby red slippers as silver. But for everyone else, the film’s costume designer has shared the fascinating reason why.
For Good, in theaters now, stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, who’s living in exile after being demonized as the Wicked Witch of the West, while Ariana Grande’s Glinda the Good Witch resides in popularity and fame in the Emerald City palace. When an angry mob rises against Elphaba, she must reunite with Glinda to transform herself and all of Oz for good.
