Wicked, the spellbinding and spectacular hit musical, tells the untold story of the legendary witches from L. Frank Baum's classic, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
When Dorothy famously triumphed in Oz, we only ever heard one side of the story. Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, brings to life the captivating, surprising tale of how a misunderstood, green girl named Elphaba became ‘wicked’ but her unlikely friend, Glinda, became 'good'.
