The musical tells the story of the witches of Oz and centres on the relationship between the two witches Elphaba and Glinda, but the dramatic effect of the green skin and fiery personality of Elphaba has made hers the one with which people most readily associate the musical and which takes centre stage on this poster.\n","physicalDescription":"Gloss-finish poster featuring half-length images of the witches Elphaba and Glinda, Glinda on Elphaba's left side, whispering to her, with the text below: 'The Hit Musical Wicked.The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz'; 'Apollo Victoria Theatre Wilton Road London SW1V 1LG.
