Wicked tells the untold story of the Witches of Oz long before Dorothy arrives, focusing on the unlikely, turbulent friendship between Elphaba, a passionate and misunderstood green-skinned outcast, and Glinda, a beautiful, popular, and ambitious blonde. As students at Shiz University, their contrasting personalities clash and then bond, but their lives are dramatically fractured when they uncover the dark corruption of the Wizard's regime. Forced to make opposing choices to survive the political climate of Oz, Elphaba embraces her public framing as the Wicked Witch of the West to fight for justice, while Glinda chooses public adulation to become Glinda the Good, changing both of their destinies forever.CREATIVE TEAM
