I read Wicked so you don't have to (and it's actually very disturbing) 🧪📗✨ Wicked Book Explained

I thought I knew the story of Wicked like the back of my hand… until I read this. Before the wildly successful stage musical, Wicked started its life as a novel by Gregory Maguire (Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, 1995). With the film release of the movie musical starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande happening this weekend, I thought now would be the perfect time to discuss the original story and how much it differs from the musical adaptation. Spoiler: it differs A LOT. This book definitely does not tell the family friendly story we all know and I’m going to give you all the details (even if I feel super uncomfortable doing it). There are quite a few content warnings at the beginning of this video so please read through those and watch at your own risk. If you enjoy this video, please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to my channel.
