The musical is divided into two acts, the first act being the flashback of the life of Elphaba, the green skinned woman later branded as the Wicked Witch of the West. She, along with her ‘normal skinned’ sister went to Shiz University where her life gets tangled up with Glinda (aka Galinda), the beautiful and popular woman later branded as the Good Witch of the East. They loathed each other at first and fell in love with one man, but in the end they became the best of friends. Elphaba’s life is still proven as difficult as it has always been even after the successful friendship and her greatness at sorcery because of her retaliation to the Wizard’s corrupt government. In the end she becomes the bad person, misunderstood by all citizens of Oz. Elphaba fights for her rights and of the animals she desperately tries to save and in the process she is ostracized but is loved by the only man she and Glinda gave their hearts to despite her difference of both belief and appearance.
Wicked the Musical is very inspiring and the songs strong and heartfelt. The actors and actresses left their lives at home for every performance, to be totally in character which makes the acting pure and true. Stephen Schwartz composed the music and lyrics and is based on the novel by Gregory Maguire entitled Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West written on the year 1995. This novel is a parallel novel of the classic story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz written by L. Frank Baum in 1900.
