Stephen Lawrence Schwartz (b. March 6, 1948) is responsible for the music and lyrics, and Winnie Holzman (b. 1954) is responsible for the text, to the musical "Wicked."

Specifically, Holzman's text is based on the book "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West." In fact, her script is an adaptation of the prequel by Gregory Maquire (b. June 9, 1954) to "The Wizard of Oz." The composer, the scriptwriter and the writer worked closely together to come up with an award-winning musical.
