$94 This trip will take us to Madison’s Overture for the Arts to see the highly acclaimed musical Wicked. This show depicts the early lives of Wizard of Oz characters Elphaba-the Wicked Witch of the West- and Glinda-the Good Witch. It portrays Elphaba’s birth to college years, her time of friendship with Glinda, her strong-willed political activism, and how she came to be the infamous Wicked Witch of the West. Join us as we learn the hidden backstory of these two beloved characters. This trip will only include the show and does not include a meal.

utter words, but to live by them.

-John Fitzgerald Kennedy
