\"Wicked: Part One\" is based on the 2003 Broadway musical of the same name, whose original cast included Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel as Glinda and Elphaba, respectively.

The musical was based on the 1995 novel \"Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West\" by Gregory Maguire, which itself was based on L. Frank Baum's 1900 children's novel \"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz\" and its subsequent 1939 movie adaptation.
