Based on Gregory Maguire`s novel of the same name, the Broadway musical WICKED creates a history for the two witches from L. Frank Baum`s OZ books. Through composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz`s emotive songs, the show reveals the unlikely friendship between Elphaba (Idina Menzel), who eventually becomes the Wicked Witch, and Glinda (Kristin Chenoweth), the Good Witch.
The dramatic, horn-laden "No One Mourns the Wicked" starts the story in striking fashion, with the death of the ruby-slipper-wearing Wicked Witch. As Glinda appears, Elphaba`s backstory begins, leading to jaunty numbers like "Popular" and "Defying Gravity," as well as ballads such as "I`m Not That Girl" and "For Good," with Menzel and Chenoweth showing off their substantial vocal chops. Adding to the boisterous energy is musical theater veteran Joel Grey, who brings a bit of Broadway`s past to his role as the Wizard.
