Centre, 199 Cureton Avenue,

Stephen Schwartz’s Wicked: The

Untold Story of the Witches of Oz

takes place before L.Frank Baum’s

classic Wizard of Oz story ever

began.

Before Dorothy was even alive,

two young girls met in the Land of

Oz, became rivals, and then

friends. One was born with

emerald green skin, with a

brilliant mind and a fiery spirit.

The other was classically

beau�ful, with great ambi�on and

incredible drive.

The green-skinned Elphaba was

ostracized by her family and by

everyone at school. The beau�ful

Glinda was des�ned to be forever

popular.

Over the course of Wicked, we

discover how these two young

women became rivals and then

the closest of friends – and how

they ended up as the Wicked

Witch of the West and Glinda the

Good.
