Since premiering at Broadway’s Gershwin Theatre in 2003, WICKED has been mesmerizing audiences and breaking records, becoming the second highest-grossing musical in Broadway history with over $1.4 billion in tickets sold. Composer-lyricist Stephen Schwartz and book writer Winnie Holzman’s magical “untold true story of the Witches of Oz” has been nominated for 10 Tony Awards — winning three — including Idina Menzel for Best Actress in a Musical as heroine Elphaba. With a captivating score that includes the hits “Defying Gravity” and “For Good,” the WICKED cast album won Best Musical Show Album at the 47th Grammy Awards, with Time magazine cheering, “If every musical had a brain, a heart, and the courage of WICKED, Broadway really would be a magical place.” In addition to Menzel, the star-studded original cast included Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda, Norbert Leo Butz as Fiyero, Joel Grey as the Wizard, Carole Shelley as Madame Morrible, Christopher Fitzgerald as Boq, Michelle Federer as Nessarose, and William Youmans as Doctor Dillamond. WICKED is also the fourth longest-running show in Broadway history.

From Maguire's original plot and characters, to Schwartz's music, to the set design, and costuming, 'Wicked' is a wonder of creativity in storytelling. There is no other production quite like it. If you are choosing one show to see on Broadyway, pick this one! You won't be disappointed,
i've fell asleep in musicals in the past. wicked was amazingly entertaining considering i'm not a big fan of musicals.
This prequill to the Wizard of Oz is cleverly written, well-acted, and very entertaining. The production boasts an incredible set design and an array of over-the-top costumes. Wicked will have you laughing aloud throughout - I guarantee you will leave smiling!
Loved it and would highly recommend this theatre and show! I was frantic trying to get 'just the right seats' but the theatre is fabulous and any seat would be great - orchestra OR mezzanine level. As it goes, we were towards the back under the first meZZ, but the seats were GREAT. Loved the show, funny and witty and wonderful voices on the two main characters. They were all great and the set was beautiful. Enjoy.
was pleasantly delighted with this musical! not knowing what exactly to expect, my sister and I were dazzled by the amazing singing, intricate costume and set design as well as the superb acting. i would definately suggest this show to others as well as go see it again myself!
I see about 1-2 shows every year and Wicked has become one of my favourites! I would easily see it again!
My friends and I really loved Wicked. It brought out the imagination in all of us and had lessons to be learned.
We were mesmerized from start to finish...!! The plot was creative, the costumes fantastic, stage effects were seamless, and THE TALENT of the performers WAS UNFORGETTABLY MESMERIZING!!! I would go again and again and would definately recommend it to others!! Even my hubby, who is not fond of musicals, was spell-bound from start to finish!! Excellent job by all for some wonderful ly unforgetable entertainment!!
Even if you have seen a touring show of Wicked somewhere else in the country, don't hesitate to see it again at the Gershwin Theatre. The show will blow you away again! Kudos to the New York cast who are by far the brightest lights on Broadway!
I would recommend this musical to anyone young & old and every were in between.New York has the best theater experience.We saw 9 Broadway plays and every one was entertaining and worth the money.The experience alone is worth the money.
Wicked was a magical show. Family fun for all ages.
The story that make you feel good at the end and eyecatcing just like Phantom of opera. But Ilove the music the most . I is so wonderful.
I attend the show in New York, the cast was excellence
If I could have given more that 5 stars I would have! This was just the best show!! We just loved it. It made everything from the Wizard of Oz make sense. From start to finish it was wonderful. There was good humour, sadness and some really good lessons to be learnt. There is so much I would say about this production but I just don't want to give anything away. Having seen this in New York in June we came home and found out that it is playing in Seattle. We have already have purchased our tickets to see it again in September. Truly a must see for the whole family!
The music is wonderful, the acting is terrific, the sets are spectacular, the story is engaging, I would pay to see Wicked again if I was in New York or if the Broadway show came to our city.
We were lucky enough to see the NY production in June and the wait was worth it...an extremely tight production - more comedy than I had anticipated, but breathlessly intoxicating. Well worth planning our trip around ticket availability!
This was the greatest theatrical experience I have ever had!! The show was amazing, the talent spectacular - I would see it over and over and over again! I can't get the music out of my head!
Wicked was much more than I expected. I'm the type of person to doze off for a bit during dull/slow moments while watching a show but this was a rare exception. I was thoroughly entertained all throughout the show. I loved the music, the actors were great and there was just so much energy! I've raved about it to friends and recommend they watch it. I will surely see it again if I get the chance. Great show!
Listening to someone else's raving positive opinion can often over-inflate your expectations.. and that I do not want to do as this performance has it's own brand of magic that you need not look for. Just go with an open mind and I'm sure it will win a place in your heart. But if you really have to read on.. here's my take on it - Wicked displays some of the best new songs in the musical theatre world delivered by a pool of talent that is just a joy to watch, add to that a superbly crafted captivating story that manages to transcends all ages. Mix in sets and characters you can't help but feel like have been a part of your life before and you have this thoroughly entertaining show. The Gershwin Theatre is alive as a virtual Oz as I believe this snappy modern fantasy seriously challenges some of our history's best musicals for the #1 spot.
I've been attending Broadway shows since I was 18, for over 20 years, and I've seen a ton of productions. This show, Wicked, is, without question, one of the best I've ever experienced. I sat with my 9 year old son and my 'theatre resistant' husband. We all loved it, appreciated it and were touched by it. The music is incredible, the performances were spot on, the set design was magical. I can't recommend Wicked more. It really does transcend age, race, nationality and economics. See it!!!!!
