Wicked is a musical and Broadway sensation that looks at what happened in the Land of Oz, but from a different angle. The show's protagonist is Elphaba — a character you might know best as the Wicked Witch of the West. Wicked tells the story of how she got that title and how she was once roommates and best friends with Glinda the Good Witch. Ultimately, the musical also questions whether Elphaba is truly wicked at all.
