Who Plays Dorothy in Wicked: For Good Alongside Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo?

Warning: Major Wicked: For Good spoilers ahead…

The sequel to the musical movie Wicked, starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, is undoubtedly one of the biggest cinematic events of the year—and we’re finally about to meet the quartet that started all the lore. In Wicked part one we got a very brief glimpse of Dorothy and co.—the Tin Man, the Lion, and the Scarecrow—as the movie introduced us to Munchkinland, Oz, and the Yellow Brick Road, which we see our favorite Oz characters embarking down.

Since that point, everyone’s been wondering who will play the Wizard of Oz star and protagonist Dorothy and how much she’ll be involved in the second film. After all, Wicked’s entire story was inspired by events in The Wizard of Oz, and Dorothy plays a key part in the “demise” of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.

When asked by Variety about Dorothy’s role in the sequel at the time, director Jon M. Chu had a lot to say about it. “The Wizard of Oz is potentially a dream. It’s a world where there are no real stakes. Knowing that Elphaba and Glinda live in a world of real stakes, we had to reestablish with the audience that this was real,” he said, going on to confirm we will “revisit” Dorothy and her friends in part two.

Of course, Chu was hesitant to go into details about exactly how much of a role Dorothy would play in Wicked part two. “In the show, Dorothy is around,” he said. “They have to intersect, and you can only tease it so much. I won’t say whether she’s a character, necessarily, in movie two. There’s a part of me that wants everyone’s Dorothy to be the whatever Dorothy they want. And yet there is interaction and some crossover. So I’ll leave that up to part two.”

Now that the film is out, it’s fair to say Chu stayed true to his word. Here’s what we know about Dorothy in Wicked: For Good.

Who plays Dorothy?

No one! Well, not no one. An actor named Bethany Weaver is credited with kicking her crystal-clad feet and wearing a blue and white gingham dress, but Chu decided not to show her face, allowing the viewer to picture whatever version of Dorothy they have in their heads.

So what’s the deal with Dorothy in Wicked: For Good?

We already know Dorothy’s arrival in Oz leads to the death of Elpahaba’s sister Nessarose, the “Wicked Witch of the East.” In fact, Dorothy’s house lands on her, and the young girl even steals the witch’s ruby red slippers in the original film–no wonder Elphaba wants revenge, really.
