The Road to Wicked examines the long life of the Oz myth. It is
both a study in cultural sustainability- the capacity of artists,
narratives, art forms, and genres to remain viable over time-and an
examination of the marketing machinery and consumption patterns
that make such sustainability possible. Drawing on the fields of
macromarketing, consumer behavior, literary and cultural studies,
and theories of adaption and remediation, the authors examine key
adaptations and extensions of Baum's 1900 novel. These include the
original Oz craze, the MGM film and its television afterlife,
Wicked and its extensions, and Oz the Great and Powerful-Disney's
recent (and highly lucrative) venture that builds on the
considerable success of Wicked. At the end of the book, the authors
offer a foundational framework for a new theory of cultural
sustainability and propose a set of explanatory conditions under
which any artistic experience might achieve it.
