They dislike each other at first but soon form an unlikely bond. The show is about two young witches: Elphaba, whose skin is green, and Glinda, who is blonde and beautiful. The musical, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman, takes place in the land of Oz before Dorothy's arrival. How did the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz become so wicked? The Wicked musical answers that question.
