Wicked! (But good.)

(Updated and reposted)





Wicked is a musical based on a contemporary novel about two witches, one perceived as "good" and the other perceived as "wicked," who eventually conspire to overthrow the dim-witted manipulator and manipulated "Wizard of Oz" in his crusade to dumb down intelligent talking Animals into the subservient underclass that the figurehead recognizes from his original homeland in Kansas.

The original musical is a stealth-political satire including sly references to "regime change" and terrorism when the "Wicked" Witch of the West is pointedly drawn as an enemy for the masses to unite against after she refuses to aid the government in their torturous subversion of the caste of intelligent Animals into mindless cattle.
