What is Wicked the Musical about?
Experience the magic of Wicked the Musical, an enchanting show exploring the backstory of the iconic characters from L. Frank Baum’s “The Wizard of Oz”.
With spellbinding music and lyrics by Grammy Award winner Stephen Schwartz the musical is adapted from Gregory Maguire‘s acclaimed 1995 novel, ‘Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West’. Get invited into a parallel universe where you will meet two young magicians - Glinda and Elphaba - long before they became known as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West in the beloved tale of The Wizard of Oz.
