Story: |
A vivid reimagining of the classic The Wizard of Oz, Wicked spotlights
the untold stories of Oz's most famous (or infamous) characters, namely
the Wicked Witch of the West and her unlikely friend, Glinda the Good Witch.
The show follows green-skinned star Elphaba from birth to college and
through the life-changing events which eventually label her
"wicked," introducing spoiled rich girl Glinda, local prince and
heartthrob Fiyero and even the Wizard of Oz himself, a troubled man very
unlike the one you may remember. As Elphaba, a passionate political activist
if there ever was one, fights injustice and seeks to undo the mistakes of
the past, dark secrets, and personal tragedies shape the history of Oz,
paying homage to the classic Wizard of Oz story while simultaneously
changing fans' understanding of it forever. A cautionary tale about
love, friendship, and trust, Wicked effortlessly reveals that there are
indeed two sides to every story.
