WICKED tells the story of what happened long before Dorothy dropped in, when two other young women meet in the land of Oz. One born with emerald-green skin is smart, fiery, misunderstood and possesses an extraordinary talent. The other is bubbly, blonde, ambitious and exceptionally popular. They become rivals, then friends…until the world decides to call one “good” and the other one “wicked”. Through powerful music and dazzling performances, the musical uncovers the themes of identity, acceptance, and the nature of good versus evil.
More than 20 years since its premiere on Broadway, WICKED remains one of the most successful and popular musicals in the world. Thus far it has won over 100 major awards including the GRAMMY Award, the Olivier Award, six Helpmann Awards, three Tony Awards and six Drama Desk Awards. More than 70 million people worldwide have seen this spectacular phenomenon, and WICKED has become the fourth longest running show in Broadway history.
Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, WICKED has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and a book by Winnie Holzman. The production features musical staging by Wayne Cilento with original direction by Joe Mantello. WICKED is produced in Australia by John Frost for Crossroads Live Australia, Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone, and presented in Singapore by Base Entertainment Asia under the direction of Chief Executive Officer Chantal Prudhomme.
