Background Story: A vivid reimagining of the classic //The Wizard of Oz//, //Wicked// spotlights the untold stories of Oz’s most famous (or infamous) characters, namely the Wicked Witch of the West and her unlikely friend, Glinda the Good. The show follows green-skinned star Elphaba from birth to college and through the life-changing events which eventually label her “wicked,” introducing spoiled rich girl Glinda, local prince and heartthrob Fiyero and even the Wizard of Oz himself, a troubled man very unlike the one you may remember. As Elphaba, a passionate political activist if there ever was one, fights injustice and seeks to undo the mistakes of the past, dark secrets and personal tragedies shape the history of Oz, paying homage to the classic //Wizard of Oz// story while simultaneously changing fans’ understanding of it forever. A cautionary tale about love, friendship and trust, //Wicked// effortlessly reveals that there are indeed two sides to every story.

It is based on the [|Gregory Maguire] novel // [|Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West] // (1995), a [|parallel novel] of the 1939 film // [|The Wizard of Oz] // and [|L. Frank Baum] 's classic story // [|The Wonderful Wizard of Oz] // (1900). The musical is told from the perspective of the witches of the [|Land of Oz] : [|Elphaba], the misunderstood girl with emerald-green skin, and Galinda, later [|Glinda] , the beautiful, ambitious and popular blonde. //Wicked// tells the story in which these two unlikely friends grow to become the [|Wicked Witch of the West] and the [|Good Witch of the North] while struggling through opposing personalities and viewpoints, rivalry over the same love-interest, reactions to the [|Wizard] 's corrupt government, and, ultimately, Elphaba's public fall from grace. The plot begins before and continues after [|Dorothy] 's arrival from [|Kansas] and includes references to locations, events, characters and situations from both the 1939 film and Baum's novel. . Produced by [|Universal Pictures] in coalition with [|Marc Platt] and David Stone, the [|Joe Mantello] -directed and [|Wayne Cilento] -choreographed original production of //Wicked// premiered on [|Broadway] at the [|Gershwin Theatre] in October 2003, after completing pre-Broadway [|SHN] tryouts at San Francisco's [|Curran Theatre] in May 2003. Its original stars included [|Idina Menzel] as Elphaba, [|Kristin Chenoweth] as Glinda, and [|Joel Grey] as the Wizard. Despite drawing heavy criticism from // [|The New York Times] // and mixed critical reception elsewhere, the musical has proved to be a favorite among patrons. The success of the Broadway production has provoked the opening of five other North American productions, including two national tours, as well as a five-year strong [|West End] production and several international productions in the likes of Japan, Germany and Australia. . While the original production won three out of its ten [|Tony Award] nominations, garnered six [|Drama Desk Awards] and received one [|Grammy Award], //Wicked// has since accrued one [|Laurence Olivier Award] and six [|Helpmann Awards] internationally. Since its 2003 debut, //Wicked// has broken box office records around the world, currently holding weekly-gross-takings records in Los Angeles, Chicago, St. Louis, and London. In the week ending January 2, 2011, the London, Broadway, and both North American touring productions simultaneously broke their respective records for the highest weekly gross. Both the West End production and the North American tour have been seen by over two million patrons each while the original Broadway production, having played over 3,460 performances, celebrated its eighth anniversary on October 30, 2011, making //Wicked// the 13th [|longest-running Broadway show] in history. ||
