Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda look up together in Wicked: Part One
Good news! Wicked has made its much-anticipated debut, finally allowing audiences the chance to see the story of Elphaba and Galinda come to life on the big screen. The movie is an adaptation of the Broadway musical by Stephen Schwartz, of the novel by Gregory Maguire, which itself is based on the 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.
10 Governor Thropp Portrayed by Andy Nyman ✕ Remove Ads Governor Thropp is the Governor of Munchkinland and also the father of Elphaba and Nessarose . His appearances throughout the film are brief, but we do learn more about him through Elphaba, and it doesn’t paint him in the greatest light.
8 Boq Portrayed by Ethan Slater ✕ Remove Ads Much like Pfannee and ShenShen, Boq doesn’t have a ton of screentime in Wicked, which is the reason for his lower placement in the rankings. Boq is a munchkin who is in love with Galinda, and adorably so. However, she is infatuated with Fiyero and tells him he should vy for Nessarose instead. He does so, but he’s still in love with Galinda, something Nessarose begins to notice herself.

Due to complications from her mother’s pregnancy, Nessarose is in a wheelchair, but she doesn’t let it stop her. In fact, it only motivates her more. She is extremely self-sufficient, and on more than one occasion tells others not to help her because she can take care of herself.
✕ Remove Ads 4 Fiyero Portrayed by Jonathan Bailey Fiyero is Wicked’s love interest– first he's introduced to be Galinda’s love interest, but slowly, Elphaba’s as well. He comes to Shiz University midway through the school year and wows everyone with his charm and carefree nature. Galinda is instantly smitten with him, naturally, while Elphaba couldn’t care less.
