Wicked began as a Broadway musical in 2003, adapted from Gregory Maguire's novel, with Glinda as the popular counterpart to Elphaba. In the song Popular, Glinda tries to remake her roommate, and the toss toss direction became one of its most quoted physical gags. The 2024 film with Ariana Grande as Glinda renewed interest, including extended and deleted material circulating online.
