About Wicked
Was the 'Wicked Witch of the West' really wicked or
the innocent victim of a corrupt regime?
Three time winner of 'Best Theatre Production for Schools' at the annual School Travel Awards,
Wicked explores themes of self-esteem, discrimination, identity, fake news, and
friendship, and supports programmes of study for English, Drama, Music, PSHE, and more.
Adapted for the stage from Gregory Maguire's acclaimed novel 'Wicked: The Life and Times
of the Wicked Witch of the West' (readers 16+) by writer Winnie Holzman and featuring songs
by Stephen Schwartz, Wicked is an ingenious re-imagining of L. Frank Baum’s 'Wizard of Oz' story.
"The allegorical origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West, 'Wicked'
Independent
provides a nuanced examination of good and evil, and an indictment of elitism,
racism, fascism, scapegoating and the corrupting nature of power."
Wicked is about "nurturing self-esteem, overcoming discrimination, and finding a sense of
identity" (Drama & Theatre), and tells the untold story of an initially unlikely and eventually
profound friendship between two university students, 'Galinda Upland' and 'Elphaba Thropp',
and how their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies
as 'Glinda The Good' and the 'Wicked Witch of the West'.

Did you know?
Wicked has been a finalist in the category 'Best Theatre Production for
Schools' every year since the School Travel Awards began, winning three times.
In 2025, 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz', L. Frank Baum's classic children's
fantasy, celebrated 125 years since it was first published.
In Baum's story (and in Wicked), the famous 'slippers' are silver. In the 1939
film adaptation they became ruby to make better use of TECHNICOLOR™.
