Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another girl, born with emerald- green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. 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 "wicked." With a thrilling score that includes the hits "Defying Gravity," "Popular," and "For Good," Wicked has been hailed by The New York Times as "the defining musical" of the early 2000s.
