Take two witches, put them in a love triangle in a magical land called Oz, and you get the hit Broadway musical Wicked. Based on Gregory Maguire’s best-selling novel of the same name, see what happened before Dorothy swept into town.

This prequel reveals how Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the Good Witch came to be. Before they were enemies, they were best friends. And they were not as evil and good as you may think. If you ever wondered why the Tinman didn’t have a heart and how the Lion lost his courage, you’ll find your answers here.

Wicked is the perfect remedy for the winter blues.
