Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Wicked is the back story to the Wizard of Oz!. Wicked is everything that happened in Oz before Dorothy dropped in and why things are the way they are in Oz and what was happening in the rest of Oz when (and after) Dorothy landed in Oz!.

It tells the story of Elphaba, a smart, fiery, misunderstood young woman who was born with green skin, and her relationship with her college roommate Galinda, who is pretty, ambitious, and very popular!. Eventually they become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good due to the choices they make!. also, the Tinman, Scarecrow, Lion, and the ruby slippers all have their origins revealed throughout the show!.

The 2nd National Tour of Wicked has stops in some states of the midwest, so the source has the upcoming tour stop dates:Www@QuestionHome@Com

it is a prologue to the wizard of oz!. it tells the storyof glinda thegood and elphaba(aka the wicked witch of the west) and how they became friends at shiz university!. You also find out that elphaba was not bad at all and infact her and glinda were best friends!. I highly reccomend this play it is very good and deffinetly a must see show!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Its super good!. A great story line and great songs (download them! esp "defying gravity" and "popular")
