Synopsis:
A pre-history of the events before Dorothy arrived in Oz when witches ran rampant and flying monkeys flew! This intriguing premise is explored in this new musical from the creator of Pippin and Godspell about the childhood days of the good witch, the bad witch, and the oh-so-sophisticated wizard. This fantasy-filled musical was the winner of three 2004 Tony Awards including prizes for Best Costume Design and Best Scenic Design. From real flying monkeys to a trip to the Emerald City and a soaring, modern score by Stephen Schwartz, Wicked is a true spectacle for the eyes and ears.
The twists and turns in Gregory Maguire's incredibly imaginative back-story to The Wizard of Oz makes audiences literally gasp with delight. But not only that, Wicked is a truly heartfelt story of friendship and love. As Richard Zoglin of Time Magazine put it, "If every musical had a brain, a heart and the courage of Wicked, Broadway really would be a magical place!"
