The Origins of ‘Wicked’
‘Wicked’ is based on L. Frank Baum’s original “The Wizard of Oz” novel from 1900. The novel tells the narrative of Dorothy, a Kansas farm girl who is swept away by a tornado to the mythical Land of Oz and starts on an adventure to find the Wizard and return home. The novel was made into a famous 1939 film starring Judy Garland, which became a global classic.
The musical itself is a staging of Gregory Maguire’s novel, “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West,” published in 1995. This novel is a retelling of the story of Oz, with a new point of view on the so-called evil, Elphaba, and a consideration of how she became misunderstood. The musical staging brought Maguire’s book to life with lovely music, brilliant scenery, and an exciting plot that has left the world amazed ever since.
