Glenda the Good starts the musical by announcing the death of the witch of the west a pointer that aids captivate the audience’s attention. The musical then takes up a series of flash back looking at the life of the wicked witch as a teenager by the name Elphaba.

It showcases a life of ridicule due to her unusual skin hue. On the songs, they go on a comical spread belting out totally hilarious songs that propagate mutual disdain as well as antipathy not to mention counting zest and complication. The musical further propagates more conflicts as well as complications that are shown through great dancing that reflects the various themes of the wicked musical. Some of the themes that are carried include self-realization trials as well as conflict with not only individuals but also the society. The wicked witch theme is carried through the dramatization of the witches learning about sorcery via there tutor, Madame Morrible. The wizard of Oz influence on the musical is seen through integration of animals as well as all the propaganda that came with them such as their ability to talk.
