Based on Gregory Maguire's book Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, this story delves into the origins of Elphaba and Glinda. The plot centers on their strange bond when they're both students at Shiz University. As the story progresses, this is a fresh take on classic Oz tales, such as The Scarecrow, Tin Man, Flying Monkeys, and the real story behind those dazzling ruby red slippers. A worldwide phenomenon, Wicked has been wowing audiences since its 2003 premiere. The iconic score of the musical, which has three Tony Awards and a Grammy, was composed by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin) and written by Winnie Holzman (My So-Called Life).

Wicked is a magical experience for audiences of all ages, with to its magnificent scenery, stunning costumes, and mesmerizing effects that transport them to the Land of Oz. Whether you're cheering for Elphaba, sharing laughter with Glinda, or questioning your assumptions about Oz, Wicked guarantees an extraordinary magical adventure.

The Story

Before Dorothy ever sets foot in the Land of Oz, the secret tale of its history is revealed in Wicked. Elphaba is an outcast at Shiz University due to her green complexion. As roommates, Elphaba and Glinda eventually develop an unusual bond despite their dissimilarities.

Despite their apparent compatibility, the relationship between Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West) and Galinda (later Glinda the Good Witch) is tested by their polar opposite personalities and perspectives on life. Madame Morrible notices Elphaba's magical abilities and says she will introduce her to the Wizard of Oz. But is the Wizard all that he seems? All that glitters is not gold down this yellow brick road.
