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.

It includes characters, most of them might be familure to you, such as the wicked witch of the west and G(a)linda and a few others, but some characters are new. -x-x-x-x-x- Wicked is the story of the Wicked Witch of the West and her friendship with G(a)linda the Good.

What are the differences between 'Wicked' and 'The Wizard of Oz?
Well you see, The Wizard of Oz is a story mainly about Dorthy's journey and whom she meets along the way. The story is like many other fictional novels. You follow the character on their journey. However, Wicked is like the backstory about everything in the world of the Wizard of Oz. It answers many of your questions about the Wizard of Oz book. Why was the Wicked Witch of the West so wicked? What was the city of Oz like for everyone that lived there. Wicked is the story of Oz and Munchkinland before Dorothy ever showed up. It gives you back stories to all the old characters. Another difference is the content. The Wizard of Oz is appropriate for all ages and considered a family story. However, Wicked has strong content and may be to difficult for children to understand.
