Get your “Wicked” tickets and step into the magical theater experience that is sweeping the musical theater industry. Loosely based on the best selling novel by Gregory Maguire, “Wicked” gives you a peek at Oz long before Dorothy dropped in. Winner of three Tony Awards in 2004, as well as multiple other accolades, “Wicked” is a truly spellbinding production.
“Wicked” tells the tale of two witches led down drastically different paths. Recalling the back story of Elphaba and Galinda, otherwise known as the Wicked Witch of the West and the Good Witch of the North, “Wicked” truly transports you to a land filled with magic, love and power. Central to the plot is the relationship between Elphaba and Galinda, portrayed as would-be rivals at the outset, later realizing they are united by an unexpected sentiment of understanding and mutual respect.
This smart production will shatter all of your previously held conceptions about the Land of Oz and its inhabitants.
Riveting lyrics and musical arrangements by Stephen Schwartz anchor the production to the original novel’s storyline. Winnie Holzman, whose TV credits include “Thirty Something” and “My So-Called Life,” authored the book based on the musical with reverence, thoughtfulness and heart. Thus novel, musical and book create a trio of harmony linking the elements back to one another.
Originally premiering in San Francisco at Curran Theatre in May 2003, “Wicked” was an instant hit. On October 30, 2003, the show opened on Broadway and has been running across the country breaking box office records for “Wicked” ticket sales ever since.
A superior cast ensures that even the most blatantly cute and syrupy moments are hard to resist. Toss in tunes that leave you humming as you exit the theater, and you have a thoroughly enchanting experience. If you can’t call to mind the last time a musical made you laugh, cry and think at the right times for the right reasons, then you need to scoop up your “Wicked” tickets today! Audiences are raving and singing the praises of this event.
Find out what really happened to all of your favorite “Wizard of Oz” characters and see what is destined to become one of the most beloved theater classics of all time. These shows don't run forever, so don't wait until the last minute to get your “Wicked” tickets.
