“Wicked”: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz is coming back to St. Louis for another thrilling series of its musical brilliance.
“Wicked” is based on the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West,” a parallel novel of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz and L. Frank Baum’s classic story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
The musical is told from the perspective of the witches of the Land of Oz. Its plot begins before Dorothy’s arrival in Oz and continues after and includes several references to the original film and Baum’s novel.
“Wicked” tells the story of two friends, Elphaba (The Wicked Witch of the West) and Glinda (The Good Witch of the North), who struggle through opposing personalities and outlooks, a rivalry over the same love interest, and The Wicked Witch’s fall from grace.
“Wicked” will be playing of the Fox Theater between Wednesday, December 12, 2012, until Sunday, January 6, 2013. Visit www.saintlouisboxoffice.com to get you tickets now.
