Bailey210 says: Yes that is true but i thought you might want to know that Wicked is a series of books as i am currently reading the series myself, wicked is the first book but after that there is "son of a witch" by the same author and some other book i don't know the name is ( i am still reading wicked lol)
Basically, it is about Elphaba, the so-called "Wicked Witch of the West", and Galinda, or "Glinda the Good". The story is about how Elphaba became Wicked, and is the overall story of how Galinda made her that way. The girls go to college, meet Fiyero, the Scarecrow, who they both fall in love with. Boq, the tinman, ends up stuck with Nessarose, the Wicked Witch of the East. The lion actually like Elphaba. Basically, Elphaba isn't Wicked, but ends up thinking she must be, because of a series of events leading to that revelation. Galinda, attempting to keep her job, makes everyone think Elphaba is Wicked, though she knows she's really not.
