The Broadway sensation WICKED looks at what happened in the Land of Oz… but from a different angle.
Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other young women meet in the land of Oz. One born with emerald-green skin is smart, fiery, misunderstood and possessing an extraordinary talent. The other is bubbly, blonde, ambitious, and exceptionally popular. They become rivals, then friends…until the world decides to call one “good” and the other one “wicked.”
What People Are Saying
“WICKED is splendiferous as ever! The show works because it explores the complexity of moral choices and the prices, we have to pay for making them. It’s a reminder of how musicals can support complex stories when you have a book writer of the quality of Winnie Holzman, great songs by Stephen Schwartz, and a rich, visually splendiferous production, as directed by Joe Mantello. And, of course, the green girl and the blonde girl, as they refer to each other, are every person figures. We’re all either one or the other.”
