Gregory Maguire, AG90: What inspired you to write Wicked?

[@PorgWitch]

So intelligent and fascinating to listen to. I'd gladly listen to a lecture by him

So sad about James Bulger :(
They did much worse to the poor child than stone him to death. I certainly call that evil. Especially because both of the boys were 10, not 11 and 14.

great interview

Thanks to Wicked (book and stage musical) now we got misunderstood evil queens, villains or witches on tv and cinema who now they turn to be not so evil people like Maleficent, Cruella, the evil queen from Once Upon a Time series, and Elsa from Frozen (based on the Snow Queen tale).. even I bet that the live action version of Ursula (from The Little Mermaid 2023) won’t end up like her original animated counterpart

The author made the book and Broadway adapted it into a musical at the Gershwin theater

This is amazing

The thing with the boys was in the 90s. I wonder if the Bin Ladin headline was also in the 90s.

You can get a doctrine in children’s literature?
