WICKED tells the previously unknown story of the witches of Oz. Two young women take center stage: One is Elphaba, who is misunderstood because of her unusual green skin color and has yet to discover her true abilities, and the other is the popular, ambitious and privileged Glinda, who has yet to find her true self.
SONGS IN ORIGINAL VERSION
The two meet as students at the University of Glizz in the fantastic land of Oz and form an unusual but deep friendship. After an encounter with the wonderful Wizard of Oz, their relationship reaches a turning point and the two friends' lives take very different paths. Glinda's unwavering desire for popularity seduces her into power, while Elphaba's determination to stay true to herself and those around her will have unexpected and shocking consequences for her future. In their incredible adventures in Oz, both must ultimately fulfill their destinies: Glinda as the Good and Elphaba as the Wicked Witch of the West.
For two decades, it has been one of the most popular and enduring musicals ever to grace the stage. For this year's Christmas season, WICKED is finally coming to the big screen as a spectacular, cross-generational movie event.
