The Life and Times of the Wicked WitchBased on the novel ‘Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West’ by Gregory McGuire, WICKED tells the tale of two young sorcery students who go on to have some amazing adventures in Oz. One will become ‘Glinda the Good Witch’; the other is ‘Elphaba’ the future ‘Wicked Witch of the West’. Set mainly before the arrival of ‘Dorothy’, WICKED is a brilliant revisionist look at the wonderful world of Oz | |
