Wicked is my favorite musical play. There are 19 songs in the whole play. The songs are written by Stephen Schwartz. The story is a prequel to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The main characters are Elphaba (you may know her as “The Wicked Witch of the West) and Glinda the Good Witch. The original actors for this play are Idina Menzel (Elphaba) and Kristin Chenoweth (Glinda). The story of Wicked shows what really happened and the “behind the scenes” of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. As the tagline goes “ So much happened before Dorothy dropped in.”
