Wicked is a relatively new Broadway musical. It is basically a prequel to the Wizard of Oz. It tells the story of the witches of Oz:Wicked Witch of the West,Wicked Witch of the East, and Glinda the Good Witch. It focuses primarily on Elphaba,better known as The Wicked Witch of the West, and her misunderstood story. The tagline of the show is "A Lot Happened Before Dorothy Dropped In....."
Contrary to Sholto from London's belief, "wicked" did not originate in England in the mid 1990's. Take it from an old broad, Wicked has been used in the Boston area since time began basically. Used as an adverb in place of very, really, etc. to emphasize something. True Bostonians (All New Englanders may be included in this, after all, we all root for the "wicked amazing" Patriots)always use an adjective after employing the use of wicked.
Tedy Bruschi is wicked awesome! He came back from a wicked bad stroke and then went out and kicked some wicked big ass with the rest of the wicked amazing Patriots!
