About Wicked
"Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz" is a musical prequel to "The Wizard of Oz," which gives ample depth to the Wicked Witch of the West with a complex backstory. Based on L.

The musical features songs by composer Stephen Schwartz and a book by writer Winnie Holzman. First entering theaters in 2003, Wicked has delighted patrons for 13 years. With over 5,000 performances highlighting dozens of talented actors, Wicked in New York is the 10th longest-running Broadway show.
