Elphaba Thropp is thought to be wicked in the book "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954).
Specifically, Elphaba is born with green skin and is not her mother's favorite child. She is mistreated and misunderstood throughout life. As is the case with many people, Elphaba does likeable things - such as taking care of her younger sister Nessarose - and unlikeable things. It is the latter that people choose to remember and that influence Elphaba's overall undeserved reputation as the Wicked Witch of the West.
The first book in the Wicked series by Gregory Maguire is "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West." It reimagines the story of the Wicked Witch of the West from "The Wizard of Oz" and explores her journey and motivations.
Wicked is a musical as well as a book. Both the musical and book include drama.
The book 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' came out in 1995. 'Wicked: the musical' (only the best musical ever) came out in 2003.

You can read the novel the musical was based on Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. But be warned that the book is very different to the musical, with dark themes and adult content.
My Aunt read Wicked and said that it was awesome.
There is no film of wicked but there is a book and musical. i think people are thinking of making a movie though
the novel wicked is written by Gregory Maquire the novel is the basis of the Brodway musical
There is scedueled to be a "Wicked" movie in a year or 2 (according to IMDB), but it will be based on the musical that is based on the book, not the book itself. It will be good either way though!!! :)
