Wicked first premiered in San Francisco 21 years ago, evolving from a criticized adaptation of a dystopian novel to a cultural phenomenon celebrating hope and joy.
Wicked's narrative cleverly contrasts the themes of patriarchy and corruption with an uplifting shero's journey, focusing more on friendship than romance.
Although the production shows its age, with a slow first act, it still manages to enchant audiences through its blend of fantasy and powerful ballads.
The characters Elphaba and Glinda, traditionally played by stars like Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, remain iconic, though the current performances lack some depth.
