Wicked, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle.

When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.” Everyone loves a good origin story…and this one is a real winner!
