What is Wicked: For Good about?
Wicked: For Good tells the second half of the story of Wicked, which became a mega-hit stage musical in 2003 that adapted the 1995 novel of the same name. It’s a prequel to the 1939 classic film The Wizard of Oz and its literary basis, L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
The second half of the story centers on Elphaba after she has become known as the Wicked Witch of the West for opposing the Wizard of Oz. Her Shiz University roommate-turned-best friend Glinda, meanwhile, works for the Wizard, and their friendship is fractured when Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose, is killed by a house falling on her during a tornado. The story then reveals Elphaba’s side of the familiar events in The Wizard of Oz, revealing there was much more to the iconic story than met the eye.
What happened in Wicked?
Wicked begins with all of Munchkinland celebrating the death of the Wicked Witch before jumping back in time to reveal Elphaba’s backstory, following her arrival at Shiz University and her magical mentorship by Madame Morrible. It then chronicles the developing friendship between Elphaba and Glinda, who are reluctant roommates but become close and travel to the Emerald City together. When Elphaba’s powers are used for ill by the Wizard and Morrible, she flees, leaving Glinda behind.
