The musical simplifies the novel

Are you overtly excited as you have booked tickets for the splendid musical Wicked, a Broadway and West End musical, with magnificent songs and lyrics? Carrying along opera glasses will add to your delight as you will be able to view all the gestures, intricate movements of the artist, extravagant sets, grandeur dresses and each and every details with precision even if you have booked the seat in the balcony or the last row seats.

Wicked is the only musical of the past 20 years to match the box office phenomenon of Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera. It is based on the best-selling novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, a parallel novel of the 1939 film of L. Frank Baum's classic story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The musical simplifies the novel and presents the novel in a brighter form, illuminates the story and highlights the story's numerous ironies and interlaced levels of social commentary.
