Are the main characters in wicked gay

Ariana and Cynthia have spoken about Wicked's subtext, but are there any actual gay characters or actors in the film?.

Four of the film’s main characters are openly queer or gay in real life, or at the minimum, these actors have spoken about their queer experiences. As such, the queer representation and visibility in Wicked: Part One were important to them.

Wicked star Marissa Bode has doubled down on her – frankly, correct – stance that pretty much all the major characters in the The Wizard of Oz prequel are LGBTQ+.

Neither Elphaba nor Glinda is explicitly queer in the text the musical is based on but some fans think they're queer-coded. Now, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande have addressed the theories. Kristen.
