You should be able to remember every single character in Wicked, and it's great to read all about your favourites. The musical is fantastic and full of interesting characters, each with their own back story and they're based largely on the novel that provided the inspiration for the musical itself.

For those that haven't heard of the novel, it's worth a read. If the theatre is more your thing, or you prefer to spend the quiet hours of a Sunday afternoon on Partypoker rather than reading, still give it a try! If you love the musical, the book is great.

The musical has been running for years in many locations, and has become a firm favourite of fans of musical theatre. Its original take on the world of Oz helps expand the magical world many fell in love with after seeing the classic 1939 film.

Based on the 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, Wicked the musical brings the untold story of the witches of Oz to stage. Wicked tells story of two unlikely friends who grow up to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch. Below is a description of all the Wicked Characters.
