Set in the Land of Oz, “Wicked” tells the tale of what happened before Dorothy arrives. The story follows Elphaba, a young woman born with green skin who possesses an extraordinary talent. She crosses paths with the bubbly, popular Glinda, who loves all things pink. Despite their initial rivalry, the two form an unlikely friendship — until the world deems one as “good” and the other as “wicked.”
The Broadway blockbuster has won over 100 international awards, including the Grammy Award and three Tony Awards, and has been performed in over 100 cities in 16 countries around the world.
The musical is based on Gregory Maguire’s novel, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman. The Tony Award winning production team — director Joe Mantello and choreographer Wayne Cilento — return, along with producers Marc Platt Universal Stage Productions, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.
Chu’s movie adaptation stars Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande and Michelle Yeoh, and will be released in movie theaters in late 2024.
