Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel "Wicked" sought to give a backstory to one of the most haunting figures from L. Frank Baum's "Wizard of Oz": The Wicked Witch of the West. The book would inspire a long-running musical, which has proved a hit both on Broadway and on tour. Correspondent Tracy Smith talks with Maguire and composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, and with the original Glinda and Elphaba, Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel, about a show that has become a beacon for anyone who doesn't fit a conventional mold.

Gregory Maguire was so on point at the end. We do need these stories to be told and told again and again now more than ever. That is exactly Wicked's run continues on and powers through. And we wouldn't have it any other way.

I saw WICKED on Broadway a few years back with Rachel Tucker, Carrie St Louis and Jonah Platt...and it was INCREDIBLE. If you have never seen this show....GO!!! It is worth every cent

I was in the audience at the Gershwin on opening night- October 30th, 2003. Last row of the mezzanine. I will never forget how Idina Menzel’s voice filled that theatre at the end of Act 1 or how deeply the friendship between Elphaba and G(a)linda touched my heart. Wicked truly changed me for good.

@broadwaymike92 3 года назад

Always and forever my favorite musical. Saw it 4 times on Broadway. Can't wait to go back and see it again. The story is so powerful, inspiring, and relevant to anyone out there who feels like a misfit and wants to do great things from the heart. The song DEFYING GRAVITY is truly an anthem and a song for peace, acceptance, and taking a stand for what you believe in. My favorite lyric in that is that last one..... AND NOBODY IN ALL OF OZ, NO WIZARD THAT THERE IS OR WAS IS EVER GONNA BRING MY DOWN. We experience so much HATE and DISCRIMINATION. People are very judgmental about so many things. At the end of the day, nothing should ever stop us from what we want out of life. As a performer myself, it's a been a dream of mine so for long to be part of this incredible cast telling a very powerful story. We can all relate to each character in their own authentic way. I'm still persisting and have been auditioning for WICKED to be "Boq", Not giving up hope.

@ronsantiago9736 3 года назад

There those who state that WICKED is simply play. This play connects with so many people because of its message for all of us. That we are not perfect and that each of us deserve love ,protection and opportunity. Wicked tells us to love ourselves, Wicked tells us to protect the environment, Wicked tells us to protect animals and that thin line between following and questioning authority is always of mindful significance.

@SM64BLJ 2 года назад

I was just at the NA tour in Greensboro NC on 10/24/21 at the Steven Tanger Center...The play was absolutely amazing! The people playing Elphaba and Glinda were just stunning and played their parts to perfection! I highly recommend you shell out some cash to see this one, you won’t regret it

This will shock you- I haven’t seen WICKED! yet, but I know it’s still one of the best musicals out on Broadway or just about anywhere in the world. The Wizard of Oz and THE WIZ (though it was a super soul adaption) are two of those ways for me to see the musical itself.

Maguire first published “Wicked: The Life And Times of The Wicked Witch Of The West” in 1995. Disney’s Maleficent movies arguably essentially take inspiration from the ideas of Wicked.

The show was actually filmed with Kristin and Idina at least twice, but possibly more than four times; once in San Francisco, and the other recordings were made once they transferred to Broadway.

I think I'm the only one in this planet who did not enjoyed this show. Saw this London Production show twice. The first one I didn't liked it. The second one, I knly went to the show because my then girlfriend wants to watch this show even though I told her that its not that nice. She said she will pay for the tickets and meal afterwards. I said she's wasting her money. Plus, I said I will treat her to any other show as long as its not Wicked. But she said that this is the one she likes. Being a good boyfriend to her, I accompanied her to the show and pretended that I enjoyed it.
