Are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them? That’s the question in this look at the lives of the witches of Oz – Glinda the Good, and Elphaba, better known as the Wicked Witch of the West. Read through the complete synopsis. For an even more in-depth look at what happens, take a look through the show’s lyrics. You can also view some lyrics that didn’t make the show. |

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West is just one of the books Gregory Maguire has written that look at a well-known fairy tale in a new light. How did the Wicked Witch become “wicked”? Read a bit about the novel, or read more about the development of the musical. |
 The Broadway cast recording for this show is definitely one of my favourite CDs of the year – find out why by reading my review of the CD, or listen to a clip from one of my favourite songs. |
 I’ve been interested in this show since the first time I heard about it, so as soon as it made it to Broadway, I had to go see it! I was prepared to try for the lottery 4 different times if it came to that, but luckily I got a ticket the first try! I’ve seen it a few other places since, but the Broadway production is still my favourite for now. 🙂 Read more about my experiences with the show. |
There are very few shows that have two such strong parts for women, and the whole cast of this show is great! Read a bit more about some of my favourites. Once you’re done looking around here, check out some of the other Wicked sites that are out there. |
