No, the musical "Wicked" is neither a true story nor a story based on something that really happened.
Specifically, the musical is based on two books: "The Wizard of Oz" by Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) and "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" by Gregory Maguire (b. June 9, 1954). Neither one of these two books tells a true story or constitutes a story based on real events. The plot and the characters both come from the fertile imaginations of the two respective authors.

What is a similar musical to Wicked?
The type of music that's featured in the musical 'Wicked' is described as more like a thematic film score. In the musical's traditional score, each song showcases new melodies and motifs. But in the thematic film score, melodies and motifs overlap across songs. This is particularly true of the musical 'Wicked'. One example is the motif that overlaps in and unites 'Dancing Through Life' and 'What Is This Feeling'. Another is Elphaba's theme, which brings together 'As Long As You're Mine' and 'No One Mourns the Wicked'. Still another is the 'Over the Rainbow' influenced 'Unlimited' interlude that links 'Defying Gravity' and 'The Wicked Witch of the East'.

Which musical is better West Side Story or Wicked?
Well, West Side Story is a true classic which many people enjoy but younger people such as kids 8+ and adults to the age of 25 may anjoy more just because it's newer and easier to relate with. Because Wicked is so new many people would automatically say Wicked is their favorite when they haven't even seen West Side Story which is an older musical. I honestly enjoy both

Are musical shows part of entertaintment or infotainment?
Typically, musical theatre performances are considered entertainment, but this is not exclusively true. Because most musical theatre shows tell a story, some of those stories are historical (ex. 1776) or historical fiction (ex., Ragtime, Hair) while others are purely fictional and entertainment-based (ex., Legally Blonde: The Musical).
