Here’s a full synopsis of the story:

Some of that sounds in line with the original Oz series. Although I sensed it was more about the struggle of good and evil, within the same person?

I think the theme of The Wizard of Oz is about the power of goodness to defeat evil, and the power of forgiveness to let go of pain and hurt.  Wicked is set in an alternate Oz with a very different ending.

How are the endings different?

In Wicked, Elphaba fails to kill the Wizard, but still becomes Queen, and is able to use her magic to heal people and undo the horrible things that happened in Oz.

Seems like Elphaba has a better writer in Wicked, than in the original series, to offer a different voice, to a familiar character.
