Wicked is the ``prequel`` to the Wizard of Oz although some of it takes place during the events of the Wizard of Oz. It centres on Elphaba the green skinned girl destined to become the Wicked Witch of the West. The book is her life story from her birth to when she is killed by Dorothy. However the more well known version, the musical,is an adapation of the book however it focuses more on the friendship between Elphaba and Glinda the girl who would become the Good Witch of the North. However the musical is vastly different and lighter than the novel also the ending is ``happier`` or more or less bittersweet.
