As the Associated Press reported in 2022, the musical, based on Gregory Maguire’s cult novel, tells the story of two young witches-to-be, one a green brooder who will be the Wicked Witch of the West and the other blond and bubbly, who will be Glinda the Good Witch.

“Wicked” celebrated its 20th anniversary on Broadway on Oct. 30 and is the 4th longest-running show in Broadway history, according to the announcement.
