Stephen Schwartz's hit musical Wicked took Broadway by storm in 2003. Subtitled "The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz,"Wicked follows the story of Glinda and Elphaba, who would become known as the Wicked Witch of the West, before Dorothy dropped into their magical land. The musical has played for over 4,000 performances on Broadway, and over the past ten years there have been countless touring productions around the world. In addition to winning three Tony Awards, six Drama Desk Awards, and a Grammy, Wicked has succeeded in winning the affection of countless fans with its vibrant score that includes some of the most popular (pun intended) songs from the Stephen Schwartz catalog (which includes iconic musicals such as Pippin and Godspell and multiple Disney film collaborations with composer Alan Menken). In this arrangement, you'll hear all your favorite tunes, including "Popular," "What Is This Feeling", "Dancing Through Life," "For Good," "and "Defying Gravity."
