Wicked

More Information about Wicked

Based on L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, Wicked tells the story of the Ozian women Elphaba and Galinda – unlikely friends who go on to become the notorious Wicked Witch of the West and Good Witch of the South.  

One of the longest running musicals in the history of Broadway, the play debuted in San Francisco in 2003 before moving to New York later that year. A U.S. tour followed shortly, and Wicked has been in continuous production on Broadway and elsewhere ever since.

The Wicked’s enduring popularity has to do with the ways in which it attempts to humanize universally recognized characters from The Wizard of Oz. The Wicked Witch in particular is given depth and humanity that all audience members can identify with, and Winnie Holzman’s book uses this dynamic to explore themes of friendship, good and evil, conformity, discrimination, and more.

Of course, Steven Schwartz’s amazing words and music helps also. Popular musical numbers from Wicked include, “Defying Gravity,” “Popular,” “The Wizard and I,” “No One Mourns the Wicked,” “Dear Old Shiz,” and others. The score is noted for its inventive use of musical themes and leitmotifs – a rarity in many Broadway musicals, but well in keeping with the play’s thematic devotion to reinventing tropes and subverting the familiar.
