SO MUCH HAPPENED BEFORE DOROTHY DROPPED
IN.
Long before that girl from Kansas arrives in Munchkinland, two 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
grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for
“the most completely satisfying new musical in a long time” (USA Today).
On Broadway and around the world, WICKED has worked its magic on critics and
audiences alike. Winner of 26 major awards, including a Grammy and three Tony
Awards, WICKED is “Broadway’s biggest blockbuster” (The New York Times).
