Meet the witches of Oz before Dorothy dropped in.
Wicked, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another girl, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”
"The most complete, and completely satisfying, musical I've come across in a long time."

"Winnie Holzman's script keeps the gags coming as it cleverly subverts the film that spawned it. Packed with spectacular coups de theatre and magical effects."
The Daily Telegraph
Charles Spencer
"What a spectacle this is! Keep your eye on the witches. These wonderful girls from Oz are a delight."
Newsday
Linda Winer
"Built on songs by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, the show is steeped in talent."
The New York Times

""Wizard of Oz" fans will be fascinated by all the back stories, answering such questions as "Is Glinda really that good?" and "Where did the flying monkeys come from?" But the best thing about Wicked is its stars, whose talents cast a poweful spell."
