Wicked is an adaptation of the 2003 Broadway musical of the same name by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, which is, in turn, based on the 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire.
Maguire’s novel, published in 1995, is a revisionist exploration of the characters and setting depicted in the 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.
Since its 2003 debut, the Wicked musical has grossed over $5 billion worldwide, making it one of the most successful musicals of all time.
The story follows Elphaba, who would become the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda the Good Witch before Dorothy arrives in the Land of Oz after she and her pet dog are swept away from their home by a cyclone.

The Wicked film adaptation was a long time coming and was most recently stalled by Stephen Daldry’s departure as director in 2020 due to scheduling conflicts, Variety reported.
The following year, it was announced that Jon M. Chu, known for Crazy Rich Asians and In the Heights, would take over as director.
