Wicked musical returns to Boston for it’s 5th visit and will play at the Boston Opera House through July 23, 2017.
The musical’s story is based on Concord author Gregory Maguire’s 1995 imaginative revisionist novel that takes a different look at the characters and land in the 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz” and Frank L. Baum’s 1900 children’s book, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” and its sequels. The musical has been seen by more than 50 million worldwide since it first burst onto stage. The show recently celebrated its 13th anniversary on Broadway where it continues to run at the Gershwin Theatre.

The Boston Opera House was packed at Wednesday night’s press opening of the current Boston engagement. Faithful theatergoers whooped with glee at the familiar songs and marveled at the elements of spectacle that enhance the compelling story. It’s the tale of the unlikely bond between Elphaba, aka “the Wicked Witch of the West,” and Glinda The Good, their sisterhood, as well as social justice, good and evil, and the rewards of following one’s heart and best instincts.
Elphaba has a mysterious power that she doesn’t understand until she is given a book of spells only she can read. The best friends go off to meet the Wizard, but Elphaba discovers he is a charlatan who deludes his people by blaming their problems on the animals.
When Elphaba realizes that she must oppose the Wizard, he gives out the fake news that she is “Wicked.” Elphaba and Glinda battle over their classmate, the sexy Prince Fiyero — who none-the-less has a brain and moral backbone. When Glinda loses him, she decides to stay on the Wizard’s team. Their adventures include several references to Dorothy, who never appears on stage but fits obliquely into the theatrical version.
