Wicked is a Tony award-winning musical based on the best-selling novel
"Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" by Gregory
Maguire, inspired by L. Frank Baum's classic story "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz".

Wicked tells the story of the green-skinned Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch
of the West and her relationship with Galinda, the Good Witch of the North.

Wicked is about a land where animals talk and strive to be treated like
first-class citizens, Munchkinlanders seek the comfort of middle-class stability,
and the Tin Man becomes a victim of domestic violence. Wicked is about
the two women's struggling friendship, rivalry over the same love-interest,
and their reactions to the Wizard's corrupt government.

In a land where wicked is an adjective used for freedom loving truth tellers,
Elphaba attempts to fight the good fight, only to be publicly derided as an
inherently evil sorceress by the Wizard and his government, to be feared
and scorned by the people of Oz.

The Broadway production opened on October 30, 2003 and, despite mixed
reviews, interest in Wicked spread quickly by word-of-mouth, leading to
record-breaking success at the box office.

The first international production of Wicked previewed on September 7,
2006 at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London's West End.
