Wicked is a novel by Gregory McGuire about the lives of the Witches of Oz before Dorothy arrived.
It paints the story of the Wicked Witch of the West and how she turned out the way she did.
She was never really wicked, but had wickedness thrust upon her...
Later on, the novel was made into a broadway musical, combining the most comical elements together to produce a fun and exciting show.
Plus, the music is spectacular.

The original cast featured Kristen (sp?) Chenowith and Idina Menzel. What a winning combination!

The musical is great, but the book... is terrible... don't read it unless you hate yourself. ^^

I haven't seen it, but I know the songs and I've read the script.
The novel, yes - never, ever read it. I haven't, because I was warned by a friend of mine. If it gives you an idea, I'm not going to say what he told me about it because I don't think it's appropriate for the boards. ^^;

Ooh! I'm in love with Wicked! Ok, not really, I'm more so in love with Idina Menzel ! XD When I was in London over the New Years this was one of the musicals we had bought to see tickets for, and the most amazing thing in the entire world happened. Turns out we had bought tickets for the night Idina was actually performing there!! xD The show was absolutely gorgeous! I haven't read the book though, but from what you guys are saying, maybe I should leave it that way O.o'

Yeah.
WEIRD AND DISGUSTING STUFF RIGHT FROM THE START blah blah blah VIVID SEX SCENE! blah blah blah blah MORE SEX! blah blah RANDOM VISIT TO A BROTHEL blah blah blah blah ADULT SITUATIONS! blah blah....
I mean. It'd be one thing if the story between that was good. Seriously. Then I would just skip those scenes and go on to the next. But the book is just... IMO... not that well written. I don't know why everyone got that excited about it, other than they were pervs and got excited 'cause the Wizard of Oz got turned into softcore pr0n.
-_____-
I haven't seen the musical, but I've heard all the music/read the libretto. It was here, and I tried to get tickets SEVEN WEEKS IN ADVANCE... and they were already sold out. -_-
