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 unlikely friends end up as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for the most spellbinding new musical in years. When WICKED opened on Broadway, it worked its magic on critics and audiences alike. Winner of 15 major awards including the Grammy® and three Tony® Awards. Today, WICKED is “Broadway’s biggest blockbuster” exclaims The New York Times. “If every musical had the brain, the heart and the courage of WICKED, Broadway really would be a magical place.” — Richard Zoglin, Time Magazine
