As Elphaba, a passionate political activist if there ever was one, fights injustice and seeks to undo the mistakes of the past, dark secrets and personal tragedies shape the history of Oz, paying homage to the classic ‘Wizard of Oz” story while simultaneously changing fans' understanding of it forever.
