Artist:
Wicked
Genre: Theater
Background: Almost precisely
100 years after a musical extravaganza named
“The Wizard of Oz” first opened
on Broadway, the Emerald City has crash-landed
on one of Broadway’s biggest stages.
This postmodern take (based on Gregory Maguire’s
novel) on the pre-Dorothy goings-on features
a gold-standard cast, top-notch design team
and the luxury of a rumored 14 million dollar
budget.
The prequel to "The Wizard of Oz"
two women, one born with green skin and
the other beautiful and popular become friends
before becoming Glenda and the Wicked Witch
Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other
girls meet in the Land of Oz. One, born
with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery
and misunderstood. The other is beautiful,
ambitious and very popular. How these two
unlikely friends end up as the Wicked Witch
of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes
for the most spellbinding new musical in
years.
