The story of Wicked
The musical follows the re-imagined story of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Gregory Maguire.
Based on Maguire’s book Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West and adapted for stage by Winnie Holzman, Wicked tells the untold story of an unlikely friendship between two sorcery students. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
