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 Theater 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 theater ticket sales ever since.
An excellent cast means that falling into this fantastic world is hard to resist and the solid score leaves you humming as you exit the theater; together producing 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 giving rave reviews and singing the praises of this event.
