The story
The tale follows Elphaba, the illegitimate daughter of the wife of Munchkinland’s governor. Despite her family and identity issues, Elphaba makes it into the esteemed Shiz University, where she bunks with social butterfly Galinda. The two polar opposites don't take to each other at first but soon become fond of each other.
After a while, things take a turn for the worse when Elphaba notices nefarious crimes against the Animals, a sentient race often tormented by oppressive forces. Galinda and Elphaba seek the Wizard for help, but the Wizard unfortunately offers little assistance. A unsatisfied Elphaba leaves the Emerald City to fight for justice for the Animals, leaving everything else behind.
Meanwhile, Galinda - known as Glinda - climbs the social ladder, marries Fiyero, the Captain of the Guard, and pursues an influential lifestyle. Elphaba returns and unwittingly wins Fiyero’s heart as he falls in love with her. Will the couple’s love blossom unburdened, or will Elphaba’s political drive push Fiyero away, and ruin her?
