Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

Written in 1995, Wicked tells the story of two witches who were best friends in the same school, their love affair with the same person, and their opposing personalities which became factors for their evolutions as the Wicked Witch of the West and the Good Witch of the North.

The novel shows an alternate view of the Emerald City and its corrupt leader, the Wizard. It also shows a different view of the two witches, completely the opposite of how Wizard readers have been oriented to. Galinda was supposedly the popular and beautiful good witch but, unknown to all except Elphaba, also had her evil and selfish schemes. Green-skinned Elphaba was extremely talented with magic, but often misunderstood in her well-intended actions. She had seen through the Wizard's corruption and manipulative ways, but in the process, the tables turned on her and she became labeled as the bad one.

Wicked also details how the other characters of the Wizard novel came to be - the cowardly lion, the scarecrow and the tin man.

Wicked the Musical

The idea of adapting the novel as a musical production hatched when one of the producers came across the novel and saw its potential on stage. Tryouts opened in May 2003 for the cast, and the first performance opened in October of the same year. Despite mixed reviews, the production proved to be a box-office hit.

The musical received nominations in at least ten categories of the 2004 Tony Awards, out of which one of the cast won the Best Actress award. Wicked also won for best scenic and costume designs.

In its first year, Wicked grossed more than fifty million dollars. The production has been extended to September 2008 where it shows at the Pantages Theatre Hollywood.

Wicked also visited Toronto and other major cities in the USA. Other non-Broadway productions of Wicked followed in Chicago in 2005, and at the London West End in 2006. There was also a mini-version which was shown at the Universal Studios in Japan.
