Her Side of the Story
In the novel, her role was minor, as she only appears a couple of times out of the Shiz setting, but in the musical her role was expanded. As in the novel, Glinda is characterized by her popularity and ambition and goes by the name of Galinda Upland (who hails from the Upper Uplands). Glinda is a very bubbly, perky, and popular girl. Unlike in The Wizard of Oz she has blonde hair instead of red hair and a blue dress instead of a light pink dress.
