What is Wicked The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West about?
There are differences between the book and the stage versions. The book is less sympathetic to Elphaba as sister to Nessarose, the Wicked Witch of the East and her father’s favorite; and as the green-skinned outsider to ‘decent’ society. The play is more appealing, with its more sympathetic presentation and with its most appealing music score.
