Join us as Ryan returns with a new Rogue Lecture to mark the release of Wicked for Good. Picking up from last year’s deep dive, this event explores how Wicked — from novel to musical to global phenomenon — has reshaped the Oz legacy and changed the American fairy tale “for good.”Ryan will trace the evolution of Wicked’s characters, themes, and cultural meaning across 20 years — from its subversive origins to its role in identity, fandom, and myth-making — and reflect on what this new film could mean for Oz’s future. Is Wicked now the dominant telling of the American fairytale?
The lecture is open to all. However, the first 20 people to reserve a ticket will be invited to join Ryan afterward for the 10:30 PM premiere of Wicked for Good at AMC Fashion District — continuing the conversation right into the film itself.
Whether you’re a longtime Oz devotee or simply curious about the story’s incredible cultural power, this evening promises insight, delight, and a uniquely insider perspective from one of the world’s leading Oz scholars.
