Based on the
bestselling 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire, WICKED is the winner of over 100 international
major awards, including a Grammy® and three Tony®Awards. The surprising tale of
an unlikely friendship between two women in the Land of Oz, WICKED tells the untold
story of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good, long before Dorothy
drops in. Elphaba, born with emerald green skin, is smart, fiery and
misunderstood. Glinda is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. The remarkable odyssey of how these
unexpected friends changed each others lives for good has made WICKED one of the
world’s most popular musicals.
