Wickedly Good Fun

The Broadway musical Wicked is heading to Detroit in December! The musical opened in 2003 and is based on Gregory Maguire’s novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. The novel is an imaginative retelling of L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz. Wicked is from the perspective of Elphaba, the misunderstood Wicked Witch of the West. It explains her history and childhood, and as one might guess, it isn’t what you expect!
Maguire continued the story with the release of Son of a Witch in 2005. It delves further into Liir’s story, the mysterious boy from Wicked. The third novel in the series is A Lion Among Men. Recently published, it focuses on the Cowardly Lion and his exploits. Get in the mood to see the musical by reading the books and listening to the cast recording.
