This finished thesis is, without a doubt, the “proudliest sight” I’ve ever seen, and I thank you for your time, effort and input in making this finished product a success. Finally, to Mrs. Kim, and all of my fellow “Touch of Swing”-ers, who inspired my love of the Wicked production, and thus, this study. For the long days of rehearsals, even longer nights on tour buses, and endless hours of memories that I’ll not soon forget... “Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better? I do believe I have been changed for the better.

  • An Introduction to the Award Winning Musical About Wicked
    TEACHERS PACK: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE AWARD WINNING MUSICAL ABOUT WICKED The premise of Wicked is that you have not been told the whole story about the land of Oz. It encourages you to look at things very differently by exploring the themes of friendship, trust and tolerance, the use of propaganda and the manipulation of public opinion. Was the Wicked Witch of the West really wicked? Was Glinda the Good really so good? Why was the Lion so cowardly? How did the Tin Man lose his heart and the Scarecrow his brain? And why did the Wicked Witch of the West want the jewelled shoes so much? Wicked sets out to explore all of this and more. The musical is often described as a ‘prequel’ to The Wizard of Oz but in fact the story takes place before, simultaneously and after the familiar Oz tale. It has been described as creating ‘a parallel universe to that of the Wizard of Oz’ and a ‘re-imagining of the same world’ that looks at things very differently. SYNOPSIS OF THE WIZARD OF OZ Whisked away from Kansas by a swirling tornado, Dorothy’s house crushes the Wicked Witch of the East when it lands in the dazzling world of Oz. Glinda the Good Witch gives Dorothy the dead witch’s jewelled slippers and sends her off along the yellow brick road which leads to the Wizard’s Kingdom. Along the way she is joined by a scarecrow with no brain, a tin man without a heart and a lion that lacks courage, each of them believing that the Wizard can give them what they want most in life.

  • Sydney Horne English 252 Peck Theater in England Journal
    Sydney Horne English 252 Peck Theater in England Journal December 29. 2006 Apollo Victoria Theatre Wicked: the Untold Story of the Witches of Oz I can think of no better way for me to start my theater experience in London than seeing Wicked: the Untold Story of the Witches of Oz. I have heard so much about this show with the reviews from critics and friends, the like, but I had yet to see it. I have been anticipating seeing the show for a couple of years now, since I first heard the soundtrack. As a result, I read Gregory Maguire’s book that started the whole Wicked phenomena. Wicked, the novel, was incredibly long and detailed, and though I enjoyed it thoroughly, I wondered how this book might translate into this wildly acclaimed show. I also worried that reading the book before seeing the musical would cheapen the experience for me. I feared that the plots would be too different, and that the meaning would be lost. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Winnie Holzman and Stephen Schwartz’s ability to piece together a show that both honored the book and, to some degree, The Wizard of Oz, the movie. Furthermore, all of the choices that were made that do not coincide with the book were intelligent and understandable adjustments. For example, from the start of the musical version, Elphaba is a much more likeable, innocent, and naïve character than in the book. Maguire’s Elphaba is born with a dim outlook on life, and I found it hard to warm to her.

Anyway, I just wanted to know how long it took you to fully write the score? Answer from Stephen Schwartz: The whole show took about four years to write, counting all the revisions and rewriting. How Close to Original Vision Question from Eric: I would like to know how you yourself feel about what you've done. I know you don't tend to read reviews of any kind, which is understandable. But how close to your original vision is WICKED? Really? I know as a creator one is never entirely satisfied. Would you be willing to specify any disappointments? In terms of what you envisioned and what is now the finished product? I know you can't help but be pleased with the show's success, but is there something you'd still like to do to it if such a thing were possible? Your score is so good, I love the show without having even seen it yet! Do you have a personal favorite song or moment from this show? I know it's a lot of questions.
