Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other 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.
WICKED,
the untold story of the witches of Oz, features music and lyrics
by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, Academy Award
winner for Pocahontas and The Prince of Egypt) and
book by Winnie Holzman ("My So Called Life," "Once And Again" and
"thirtysomething"), and is based on the best-selling novel by Gregory
Maguire. With musical staging by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento
(Aida, The Who's Tommy, How To Succeed...),
WICKED is directed by 2003 and
2004 Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (Take Me Out, Frankie
and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, A Man of No Importance).
