Wicked: The Enchanting Prequel to The Wizard of Oz
Overview
Nearly everyone is familiar with the tale of Dorothy and the Land of Oz. But have you ever wondered what happened before Dorothy's iconic journey? How much do you know about Glinda and Elphaba? Where did they come from, and what shaped them into who they became? Was Elphaba always the infamous Wicked Witch?
Discovering Elphaba's Story
"Wicked," the acclaimed musical, unveils the untold backstory of the Wicked Witch of the West. Inspired by Gregory Maguire’s outstanding novel, the show transports you into the enchanting realm of witches and wizards, unravelling how Glinda met Elphaba. These two contrasting characters, one a blonde socialite and the other a misunderstood green-skinned girl, form an unexpected friendship at school. While Elphaba initially uses her powers to defy the Wizard of Oz, fate has different plans, revealing that she wasn’t as wicked as legends claim.
Creative Excellence
Directed by Tony Award-winner Joe Mantello, known for "Take Me Out" and "Frankie & Johnny in the Clair de Lune," this vibrant production shines with creativity. The enchanting music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, an Academy Award winner for "The Prince of Egypt" and "Pocahontas," include memorable songs like "The Wizard and I," "What is this Feeling?" and "No One Mourns the Wicked."
Stellar Cast
Wayne Cilento, a Tony Award-winner for "Aida" and "The Who's Tommy," expertly handles the musical staging. The cast is equally impressive, with Idina Menzel earning the Best Actress in a Musical award for her outstanding performance as Elphaba. Kristin Chenoweth delivers a remarkable portrayal of Glinda, the seemingly carefree blonde with a tender heart.
