A number of productions for Wicked , a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, have won and nominated several awards. Wicked is based on the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (1995), a parallel novel of the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz and L. Frank Baum's classic story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900).
Although the production received mixed reviews and was initially panned by The New York Times , it has proved to be a favorite among patrons. The Broadway production's success spawned productions in Chicago, Los Angeles, London's West End and San Francisco, as well as international productions in Japan, Germany, Australia and elsewhere, and two North American tours that have visited over thirty cities in Canada and the United States. The show celebrated its 20th anniversary on October 30, 2023 and is currently the 4th longest-running Broadway show in history, [1] having played 7,774 performances as of December 24, 2023. [2] Wicked has broken box office records around the world, holding weekly-gross-takings records in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, St. Louis, and London, and obtaining the record for biggest opening in the West End (£100,000 in the first hour on sale). [3] In the week ending January 2, 2011, the London, Broadway, and both national touring productions all broke the record for the highest weekly gross. [4] [5] Both the West End production and the North American tour have been seen by over two million patrons. [6] The original show was nominated for ten Tony Awards in 2004, winning three, including the Best Actress in a Musical for Idina Menzel. It also won six Drama Desk Awards and one Grammy Award while the London show has been the recipient of five Laurence Olivier Award nominations, winning one.
Since its opening on October 30, 2003, the original Broadway production of Wicked has been consecutively nominated every year for at least one award. Accruing 64 nominations in 8 years, this production has won 33 of them. Amongst these 63 nominations include 10 Tony Awards (including the Tony Award for Best Musical), a Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, 11 Drama Desk Awards, and 10 Outer Critics Circle Awards.
