There's no place like home. Unless you're Elphaba, in which case home is complicated, the political situation is worse, and the shoes were taken under deeply questionable circumstances.
L. Frank Baum published The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in 1900, and Dorothy Gale's journey down the yellow brick road has been captivating audiences ever since — through the beloved 1939 MGM film that gave us Judy Garland, Technicolor and one of cinema's most enduring soundtracks, through decades of stage adaptations, sequels and reimaginings, and all the way to Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, which did what the very best revisionist fiction does: it told the same story from a different angle and made you wonder how you ever accepted the original version without question.
Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman's Wicked musical arrived on Broadway in 2003 and became one of the longest-running and most successful shows in theatre history — a phenomenon that has introduced an entirely new generation to Oz, to Elphaba and Glinda, and to the rather important lesson that the villain of one story is frequently the hero of another. Jon M. Chu's 2024 film adaptation brought it to a global audience with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, and reminded everyone all over again why this story refuses to be finished with us.
Our Wizard of Oz and Wicked collection brings together officially licensed figures, apparel, accessories, homeware and gifts celebrating both the classic world of Oz and its darker, richer musical counterpart — from Glinda's bubble and Dorothy's ruby slippers to Elphaba's hat and everything the Emerald City has to offer.
For those who have always loved Oz. And for those who finally understood it when they heard Elphaba's side.
Defying gravity. One collectible at a time.
