Their journey, riddled with friendship, betrayal and self-discovery, reveals how these iconic characters came to embody good and evil in the magical land of Oz.
A spectacular vision of Oz The visual artistry of Wicked: Part One is nothing short of breathtaking, computer-generated imagery at its finest.
The Emerald City shimmers with grandeur, a jewel-toned metropolis filled with towering spires, vibrant marketplaces and intricate architecture.
Every detail, from the golden cobblestones of the city square to the swirling green hues of the wizard's chambers, is crafted with care to immerse audiences in this fantastical realm.
