Wicked is a musical that tells the untold story of the witches of Oz, before and after Dorothy arrives. The story centers around Elphaba, the misunderstood green-skinned girl who is born with magical powers, and her unlikely friendship with Glinda, a beautiful and popular blonde.

The musical begins with the story of Elphaba's birth and early years, where she is shunned by her family and society because of her green skin. She is eventually sent to a school for witches where she meets Glinda, who is initially put off by her strange appearance. Over time, however, the two become friends and learn to appreciate each other's differences.

As they grow older, they are both drawn into the political upheaval of Oz, with Elphaba becoming the leader of a rebellion against the corrupt wizard who rules the land. Meanwhile, Glinda becomes the spokesperson for the wizard's propaganda machine, which portrays Elphaba as a dangerous and evil witch.

The story ultimately leads to a climactic showdown between the two friends, as Elphaba is branded a traitor and hunted down by the wizard's minions. In the end, the audience is left with a deeper understanding of the complex characters and themes that underlie the beloved story of The Wizard of Oz.
