After years of speculation, a pretty unknown actor has been revealed as portraying Dorothy in both Wicked and Wicked: For Good. This might be surprising to some cinema-goers, but the cast have shared a meaningful reason behind this approach to Dorothy’s character.<\/p>\n

Who plays Dorothy in Wicked and Wicked: For Good?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dorothy did make a super brief cameo in the first Wicked movie<\/a>, but no actor was credited. She features a bit more in Wicked: For Good<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some fans had speculated a big celeb such as Olivia Rodrigo<\/a> might land the role of Dorothy. Rumours swirled about last year that the teenage actor Alisha Weir<\/a>, who starred in the 2022 film of Matilda: The Musical played Dorothy in the film. However, Dorothy isn’t being played by anyone famous, but a virtually unknown dancer and part-time pilates instructor.<\/p>\n
