Stephen Schartz’s genius and aptitude breach generation gaps, from beloved Disney films to flawless Broadway enchantment charm. The hit-making virtuoso who brought Godspell and Pippin to the world has now breathed life into Broadway-blockbuster Wicked, which comes to Belk Theatre at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center for the fall playbill.
Wicked cleverly combines bureaucratic criticisms, distinctive heroes, and unlikely romance within a medley of catchy showtunes, including Defying Gravity, which continues to ignite and inspire audiences on Broadway and beyond.
The story follows Elphaba, the illegitimate daughter of the wife of Munchkinland’s governor. Despite her family and identity struggles, Elphaba makes it into the esteemed Shiz University, where she bunks with social butterfly Galinda. Two complete opposites don't take to each other at first but soon befriend.
After a while, things go downhill when Elphaba notices nefarious crimes against the Animals, a sentient race often tormented by persecution. Galinda and Elphaba go to the Wizard for help, but the Wizard disappointingly offers little assistance. A let-down Elphaba leaves the Emerald City to fight for the Animals, leaving Galinda and her studies at Shiz University behind.
Meanwhile, Galinda marries Fiyero, the Captain of the Guard, and pursues an influential lifestyle. Elphaba accidently earns Fiyero’s admiration as he falls in love with her and her values. Will the couple’s love grow unburdened, or will Elphaba’s agenda push Fiyero away, and kill her?
