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 15 major awards, including a Grammy™ and three Tony™ Awards. Wicked is "Broadway's biggest blockbuster" (The New York Times).
