Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One, born with
emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful,
ambitious and very popular. How these two unlikely friends end up as the Wicked
Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for the most spellbinding new
musical in years.
WICKED,
the untold story of the witches of Oz, features music and lyrics by
Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, Academy Award winner for
Pocahontas and The Prince of Egypt) and book by Winnie Holzman
("My So Called Life," "Once And Again" and "thirtysomething"), and is based on
the best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire. With musical staging by Tony Award
winner Wayne Cilento (Aida, The Who's Tommy, How To
Succeed...), WICKED is directed by 2003
and 2004 Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (Assassins, Take Me Out, Frankie
& Johnny in the Clair de Lune).
