Document Summary
At this punchline it follows mid-twenties musical conventions, however differs slightly in the fact that the duets throughout are between two women. Wicked follows the story of elphaba, the green-faced girl, and galinda who befriends elphaba at boarding school, later to change her name to glinda to show how much the friendship has changed her. As elphaba and glinda visit the wizard of oz in hope of saving the animals, they realize he is an anxious man who in fact masterminded the anti-animal plot. The two diverge paths as elphaba rebels, and glinda becomes a public figure. Although the reviews were generally poor, word of mouth allows the 1. 4$ million success of the musical. Success could be due to the formula of megamusicals"; catchy music, clever lyrics, quirky and recognizable characters, huge sets, lavish costumes, and spectacular theatrical effect.
