Wicked: Elphaba (The Wicked Witch of the West)
Joining Russell this week, Emmanuel Sonubi, Joe Sutherland and Jess Fostekew see if Elphaba was changed 'for good'
Was she a tyrant in a tall hat — or the original girlboss, defying gravity and public opinion? Was she a product of her environment who experienced prejudice, and even if she was, does that allow her to terrorise Oz?
