It is currently unknown whether this film will be based on the novel or musical (Itself an adaptation of the novel).
Note from Assistant to Stephen Schwartz: While it looks likely that a movie will one day be made based on the musical WICKED, it most likely will not happen for several years at the very soonest.
Elphaba, a misunderstood young woman because of her green skin, and Glinda, a popular girl, become friends at Shiz University in the Land of Oz. After an encounter with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads.
