WICKED - The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz.
Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire. Music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz,
book by Winnie Holzman. Wicked The Musical, the spellbinding and spectacular
hit musical, is the untold story of the legendary witches from The Wonderful
Wizard of Oz.
Wicked tells the story of Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West and
her relationship with Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. Their friendship
struggles through their opposing personalities and viewpoints, rivalry over
the same love-interest, their reactions to the Wizard's corrupt government,
and, ultimately, Elphaba's public fall from grace. The plot is set mostly
before Dorothy's arrival from Kansas, and includes several references to
well-known scenes and dialogue in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz.
When Dorothy famously triumphed over the Wicked Witch, we only ever heard
one side of the story. Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel, Wicked: The Life &
Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, created "one of the great heroines of
fantasy literature" - Los Angeles Times, explaining how a misunderstood,
green girl named Elphaba became "wicked" but her unlikely friend, Glinda,
became "good".
The exceptional team that has brought this captivating story to life on
stage includes many of Broadway's most celebrated creative talents.
Winner of 15 major awards, this "spectacular spectacle" - New York Post
transports audiences to a fantasy land of wizardry and witchcraft with
Grammy Award-winning music, Tony Award-winning sets and costumes, and
stunning special effects.
The Washington Post calls Wicked "a breathtaking success story of a
magnitude the theatre has not witnessed since the peak years of The Phantom
of the Opera". Now you can experience this magical new musical adventure in
London and discover that you've not been told the whole story about the Land
of Oz...
