This keepsake book gives you a special look into the cast and crew behind the Broadway musical, with insider stories (like how the actress who plays Elphaba gets the green paint off every night), colorful photos, and a deeper knowledge of the original story that we all know and love.

Wicked: The Graphic Novel Part I: An Enchanting Graphic Novelization of the Inspiration for the Major Motion Picture

If you want to experience the spellbinding colors of the Emerald City but can’t make it to the theater (or to Oz) yourself, then this graphic novel is the next best thing. The first of a two-part series, it has full-color illustrations that fly right off the page. However, as “no good deed goes unpunished,” you’ll have to pre-order it, as the chapter book isn’t officially released until March 2025.

New Release

Elphie (Deluxe Limited Edition)

Another pre-order selection (it comes out in March 2025), this hardcover book tells the story of young Elphaba decades before we eventually meet her at Shiz. Written by the same author who penned the original, Wicked, it has stenciled edges, stunning illustrations, and 288 pages filled with stories about our favorite green girl.

A classic tale

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Written by L. Frank Baum, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” is a classic tale about some ruby red slippers, a young girl from Kansas, and her little dog, too. Timeless and filled with fantasy, we can’t guarantee that it will “change you for the better” but we can guarantee that it will help paint a fuller picture of the events that occur in Wicked.

Filled with eight songs from the smash hit, this beginner’s songbook has the lyrics and musical arrangements to the numbers that will inspire you to continue “Dancing Through Life.”
