Well, I don't know, but last year, a friend of mine was able to do direct her own version fo Wicked as long as she didn't charge admission due to the relative youth of the musical.

Stephen Schwartz, the composer, owns the rights. He states that,
"We are in the process of negotiating the deal for stock-and-amateur licensing rights to WICKED. Needless to say, I don't expect them to become available for some time, since they are generally not made available until after the Broadway production has closed. If all continues to go well with the Broadway production, that is probably several years away. Sincerely, Stephen Schwartz”

Well, right now, the rights to "Wicked" belong to both the writer Stephan Schwartz, and to the producers - including Mark Platt, Universal Studios, and The Araca group.
Usually, when shows are in the middle of a very successful Broadway run, they tend not to let out their rights. I only know of several exceptions to this rule. Those being "The Producers", "Beauty and the Beast", and "Cats."
