Wicked is the hit Broadway musical that reimagines the witches of Oz through the unlikely friendship of Elphaba and Glinda, featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman. The touring production brings the show's large-scale spectacle, choreography, and signature songs to the Boston Opera House, offering the same lavish staging and theatrical effects seen on Broadway. It is notable for its long-running commercial and critical success and for drawing broad musical-theatre audiences on national tours.
