With Stephen Schwartz’s iconic score—including “Defying Gravity” and “Popular”—and spectacular stage effects, WICKED brings the magical world of Oz to life. From Seoul to Busan and Daegu, audiences in Korea had the rare opportunity to experience the original-language production live on stage. The untold true story of the Witches of Oz.
