Cliff Notes for the Wicked Novice

Are you interested in seeing the Broadway sensation Wicked?  Of course you are, but are you familiar with the original novel titled Wicked, written by Gregory Maguire? While many of the most die-hard Wicked the Musical fans first fell in love with the story and the characters by reading the famous novel, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, others might have no idea that the popular play was actually a book. So if you’re interested in seeing Wicked the Musical for the first time, we recommend you pick up the book at your local book store or online, perhaps on eBay. However, if you’re pressed for time, we’d like to direct you to the BookRags version of the story. Here you’ll get the basic plot, an intorduction to the world of Oz, and some of the basic themes and issues presented in the original book.

However, we must insist that if you do have enough time to enjoyt the novel before seeing the musical, that’s the best way to go. We only give you the cliff notes version of the book as an easy way to make the theatrical prodiction more accessible, as a study guide to cram before the big night. You won’t get to enjoy the fascinating language and the fullness of the novel, but at least you won’t jump into the thing without any clue.
