Overview
- Multiple outlets identify British dancer and choreographer Bethany Weaver as the actor playing Dorothy in Wicked: For Good.
- Reports say Universal kept her casting under wraps by skipping premieres and discouraging social media links with the production.
- Director Jon M. Chu has said Dorothy’s presence was intentionally low-key to keep the focus on Elphaba and Glinda and to honor audience perceptions of Dorothy.
- Unverified accounts from early viewers claim her screen time is very brief and her face is not clearly shown, consistent with stage tradition.
- The film opens in theaters on November 21, with Weaver making her first on‑screen appearance in a role described as limited but notable.
