Program: Wicked (musical) by Stephen Schwartz.
Wicked, the beloved musical phenomenon that has captivated audiences worldwide since its 2003 Broadway debut, tells the untold story of the witches of Oz. Based on Gregory Maguire's novel, this Tony Award-winning masterpiece explores the unlikely friendship between Elphaba, the misunderstood green-skinned girl who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the popular blonde who becomes the Good Witch. With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman, Wicked has become one of the most successful musicals in Broadway history, earning over $1.6 billion worldwide and spawning productions across the globe.
