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.
