Based on Gregory Maguire’s best-selling novel, the stage show reimagines the beloved characters from L. Frank Baum’s classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, exploring the lives of two unlikely friends, Elphaba and Glinda, before they became the infamous Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.
The score by Stephen Schwartz, known for hits like Godspell and Disney’s Enchanted, and a book by Winnie Holzman, creator of My So-Called Life, have made it a global sensation.
