Wicked The Musical

Wicked is a fantastic ride and comes alive on stage now. Wicked has been transformed into a Broadway musical by the brilliant Stephen Schwartz, the great and powerful talent behind Pippin, The Magic Show, Godspell, Children of Eden, as well as the lyricist for a few Disney movie musicals (Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame come to mind).

Wicked the musical is not Wicked the novel. While the novel is its source, the musical presents only pieces of it, in a much simplified form, and often diverging wildly from the novel's narrative. One might be tempted to think all this destroys the work; but in the end it improves it, shining a bright light on the story's numerous ironies and interlaced levels of social commentary.

Wicked is a layered piece of drama that uses its musicality as a way to convey some of the deeper issues it sets forth. When Glinda (played to perky perfection by Kristin Chenoweth) floats onstage in her metal bubble, you know you're in for something different. She announces that the Wicked Witch of the West is dead, and the Ozians rejoice -- until one of them asks if Glinda and the Wicked Witch were friends. Want to see Wicked in Denver?

Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. Wicked tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch.

Wicked-the Untold Story of the Witches of Oz is a new musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman based on the 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire. The Wicked Denver musical is directed by 2003 Tony Award winner Joe Mantello and features musical staging by Wayne Cilento.
