The musical is very basic as opposed to the book. The book goes into greater detail and the glinda and elphaba relationship is only really in the begining and end of the book. The whole middle part of the book is the relationship between elphaba and fiyero. In the book glinda and elphie go to the emerald city then elphie sends glinda home and she stays in the emerald city for years. In the musical elphie goes to shiz with nessa. In the book nessa goes the year after. These are just a few of the differences. There is a large portion of the book where elphie and "liir" go to "kiamo ko" and stays with fiyeros wife and children.... The musical does kinda get the gist of what Gregory mcguire wrote. It outlines the fact that elphaba had a heart and didnt necessarily be the "wicked witch" for her whole life. I would recommend that if you have seen the musical read the book and visa versa. Either way they are both excellent.
