Wicked is a magical and emotionally rich musical that re-imagines the untold story behind the witches of Oz. Instead of focusing on good vs. evil, the story explores friendship, identity, and the truth behind misunderstandings.
The musical follows Elphaba, the green-skinned girl who the world later calls “The Wicked Witch of the West,” and Glinda, the glamorous and bubbly witch admired by everyone. Though they start as opposites and rivals, their lives become deeply connected. Together, they discover secrets, face power struggles, and learn that people are not always what they seem.
Themes explored in Wicked:
- True friendship
- Misjudgment and prejudice
- Power, politics, and truth
- Inner strength
- Becoming who you are meant to be
Filled with iconic songs like “Defying Gravity” and “For Good,” Wicked continues to inspire audiences with its message that even one person can change lives — for better or worse.
