Wicked: The Musical

On Thursday, October 26, 2023, with a group of fellow AACAP annual conference goers, we saw the musical Wicked. Wicked is a beautiful and thought-provoking musical, telling the Wizard of Oz story from the perspective of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. In the musical, Elphaba starts out life at a disadvantage, as she is born with green skin. She is rejected from the beginning, with her father declaring “take it away!” (act 1, scene 1). The story picks up as she starts boarding school, largely to care for her younger sister, Nessa.
