Wicked The Musical
Wicked is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a libretto by Winnie Holzman. The story is based on the best-selling novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, a re-imagining of L. Frank Baum's classic story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz from the perspective of the witches of the Land of Oz. The musical tells the stories of Glinda and Elphaba, two young witches who eventually become the Good Witch of the North and the Wicked Witch of the West, respectively, and is set mostly prior to Dorothy's arrival from Kansas. The plot also includes several references to the classic 1939 film.
The musical debuted on Broadway on October 30, 2003. It was produced by Universal Pictures and directed by Joe Mantello, with musical staging by Wayne Cilento, and starred Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda, Idina Menzel as Elphaba, and Joel Grey as The Wizard. Although the production received mixed reviews and was panned by The New York Times, it has proved to be a favorite among patrons. The Broadway production's success spawned productions in Chicago, Los Angeles, London's West End, Tokyo, and Stuttgart, along with a North American tour that has visited over 30 cities in Canada and the United States.
Wicked has broken box office records around the world; it holds weekly-gross-takings records in New York, London, Chicago and Los Angeles, and the record for fastest opening £100,000 in the West End (slightly over one hour). The West End production has played to more than 800,000 people, and the North American tour has been seen by over two million patrons.[3] The show was nominated for ten 2004 Tony Awards, winning those for Best Actress, Scenic Design and Costume Design. It also won six Drama Desk Awards.
Wicked The Musical Synopsis
Wicked tells the story of Elphaba, misunderstood and victimized, who grows up to become the Wicked Witch of the West, and of her reactions to the charlatan Wizard's corrupt government. It also shows the development of her relationship with the beautiful and ambitious Galinda Upland, who becomes Glinda the Good Witch of the North. Throughout the show, their friendship struggles to endure their opposing personalities and viewpoints, rivalry over the same love-interest, and Elphaba's eventual fall from grace.
Critical Reception
The Broadway production opened on October 30, 2003, to mixed reviews from theatre critics. While Menzel and Chenoweth received nearly unanimous praise for their performances as Elphaba and Glinda, the plot was derided as "muddled", and the sound quality in the massive Gershwin Theatre as "smearing". Despite these mixed reviews, interest in Wicked spread quickly by word-of-mouth, leading to record-breaking success at the box office, as described below. Speaking to The Arizona Republic in 2006, Schwartz commented, "What can I say? Reviews are reviews... I know we divided the critics. We didn't divide the audience [though], and that's what counts."
The West End production opened to a similarly ambivalent, if slightly more upbeat, critical reception. Although The Daily Telegraph described it as "at times... a bit of a mess," it praised Holzman's script, described Kenneth Posner's lighting design as "magical" and lauded Menzel and Helen Dallimore (as Glinda). The Guardian gave it three out of five stars and remarked on the competence of all the lead actors; however, it also complained that Wicked was "all too typical of the modern Broadway musical: efficient, knowing and highly professional but more like a piece of industrial product than something that genuinely touches the heart or mind".
Awards
Wicked was nominated for ten of the 2004 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book, Best Orchestration and twice for Best Leading Actress, for Menzel and Chenoweth. Menzel won the Best Actress award, and the show also won the Tony Awards for Best Scenic Design and Best Costume design, although it lost the Best Musical award to Avenue Q. In the same year, the show won six Drama Desk Awards out of eleven nominations, including in the Book, Director and Costume Design categories. The West End production was nominated for four Laurence Olivier Awards in 2007 but did not win any
