SUMMARY:Wicked
DESCRIPTION:See it LIVE. Remember it FOREVER. So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. WICKED\, the Broadway sensation\, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz… but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives\, there is another young woman\, born with emerald-green skin—smart\, fiery\, misunderstood\, and possessing an extraordinary talent. \nWhen 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.” From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment\, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. “If every musical had the brains\, heart and courage of WICKED\, Broadway really would be a magical place” (Time Magazine).

SUMMARY:Wicked
DESCRIPTION:See it LIVE. Remember it FOREVER. So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. WICKED\, the Broadway sensation\, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz… but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives\, there is another young woman\, born with emerald-green skin—smart\, fiery\, misunderstood\, and possessing an extraordinary talent. \nWhen 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.” From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment\, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. “If every musical had the brains\, heart and courage of WICKED\, Broadway really would be a magical place” (Time Magazine).
