WICKED - The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz.
Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire. Music and lyrics by Stephen
Schwartz, book by Winnie Holzman. Wicked The Musical, the bewitching and
outstanding hit musical, is the untold story of the legendary witches
from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
Wicked recounts the story of Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the
West and her relationship with Glinda, the Good Witch of the North.
Their friendship struggles through their contradicting personalities and
points of view, rivalry over the same love-interest, their reactions to
the Wizard's corrupt government, and, ultimately, Elphaba's public fall
from grace. The plot is set mostly before Dorothy's arrival from Kansas,
and includes several references to well-known scenes and dialogue in the
1939 film The Wizard of Oz.
When Dorothy famously triumphed over the Wicked Witch, we only ever
heard one side of the story. Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, Wicked: The
Life & Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, created "one of the great
heroines of fantasy literature" - Los Angeles Times, explaining how a
misunderstood, green girl named Elphaba became "wicked" but her unlikely
friend, Glinda, became "good".
The extraordinary team that has brought this enthralling story to life
on stage includes many of Broadway's most celebrated creative talents.
Winner of 15 major awards, this "spectacular spectacle" - New York Post
transports audiences to a fantasy land of wizardry and witchcraft with
Grammy Award-winning music, Tony Award-winning sets and costumes, and
stunning special effects.
