If you have not had the pleasure of seeing the Broadway play Wicked then I encourage you to do so at some point. This fabulous show opened in October 2003 in San Francisco. Because of the popularity of the play, it expanded to other large cities which also lead to being shown off Broadway in some smaller cities as well. That being said, it could be on it’s way to you.
The musical is based on Gregory Maguire’s book Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. This story tells of the time in the Land of Oz before Dorothy is welcomed in. Wicked has two main characters: Elphaba and Galinda. Elphaba is the one with green skin who-you guessed it-becomes the Wicked Witch of the West. Opposite the Wicked Witch is Galinda the popluar, attractive one who becomes the Glinda the Good Witch of the North. The storyline that intertwines these two is very entertaining, funny and may cause you to belt out the tunes that go with each scene!
After reading Wicked, you will want more. Luckily for you, Gregory Maguire continued on for more books in the Wicked Years. The second title Son of a Witch came out in 2005. A Lion Among Men came out in 2008. The final book in the Wicked Years, Out of Oz, came out on Tuesday.
This beautiful book was just unpacked and we have them ready for you to buy. The best news is….we have signed first editions of Out of Oz.
Come see us and start on the Wicked journey! -Quinn
