The main character of Wicked, as you might guess, is the woman who will grow up to be called the Wicked Witch of the West. If you're curious about the novel that started it all, here's what to know. Set in the land of Oz long before Dorothy's arrival, Wicked traces the life of the Wicked Witch of the West: who she was, what her life was like, and how she earned the moniker of "wicked." The upcoming movie is based on the Broadway musical adaptation, which is very different from the book in tone and plot. That makes it the perfect time to take a look back at the novel! Wicked has been one of Broadway's biggest hits for almost 20 years, but did you know it was based on a book by Gregory Maguire called Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West published in 1995? Now, the musical is being adapted into a movie starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.
