It reveals the decisions and events that shape the destinies of two unlikely university friends on their journey to becoming Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

Music and lyrics for the show are by Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy Award-winner Stephen Schwartz, who has worked on Godspell, Pocahontas, The Hunchback of NotreDame and The Prince of Egypt.
