WICKED, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another girl, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”
With a thrilling score that includes the hits “Defying Gravity,” “Popular” and “For Good,” WICKED has been hailed by The New York Times as “the defining musical of the decade.” Time Magazine cheers, “if every musical had the brain, the heart, and the courage of WICKED, Broadway really would be a magical place.”
From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. It will send your spirits soaring to heights you’ll never forget.
The show was awesome! The way they were able to tie the show into the Wizard of Oz with such detail made it all the better. Live theatre is so much fun!
Not only will I never look at the original classic the same way again, but this was a great reminder to look at people differently and remember how our own life stories shape who we are. The performances were incredible and I couldn't wait to buy the soundtrack.
What a fantastic show!!! The script was so well written the cast was energetic and engaging. The understudy who played Glinda just made the whole show!! That was my second time seeing it and I'd go back again! Great show!!
What an Oz-mazing show. During the first song understudy for Glinda was a little weak but then she was incredible. Very entertaining. Fabulous sets, costumes and special effects.
Good singing, funny writing and loved how the writer was able to tie the whole story together so well. That was unexpected.
Set, actors, costumes and props were all excellent
With a a great story played by an amazing cast I would recommend this show for everyone. I am not normally a fan of musicals but I was very glad my wife convinced me to go. A must see.
The show couldn't have been better, the venue was freezing! Needed blankets to stay warm.
This was my second time seeing Wicked at the Jubilee. And the show was just as awesome the second time around. My hubby kept commenting for two days afterwards how good it was and how glad he was that he went. Highly recommended!!!
Amazing show and performance. Great story. I enjoyed the humor, the songs, and the acting. It was very entertaining.
I wasn't sure what to expect but I had so much fun! There was humor, amazing singing, a clever story line and I was hooked from the first number. Excellent way to spend 3 hours!! Only wish the sound had been a little louder... it was hard to hear some of the dialogue and songs. I'm not sure if that was the location of our seats or the audio level.
Best musical ever! My fourth time seeing it and it keeps getting better!
An excellent mix of humor and touchingly human moments, Wicked is a story of family, perception, and politics wrapped in the vestments of the Land of Oz. While stunning set design may be the first thing you notice, it is the actors that steal the show. The female leads take the roles of Alfaba and Glinda and make them their own and the interplay of the darkly sarcastic Alfie in contrast to the over the top ditzy portrayal of Glinda is both enjoyable and enlightening. In turns, you will be swept along through laughter and more somber moments as the performance leads you through both the light and the dark moments which form the lead characters and mirror the experiences of our own lives. Wicked is both entertaining and thoughtful, a combination to be appreciated for it's rarity. So rise up, defy gravity, and come and be wickedly entertained!!
Strong acting, cohesive cheography and fun for fantasy and laughs. This play was well put together and entertaining for all viewers (with the exception of young children or those photosensitive due to some frightening scenes and erratic lighting). Will definitely watch this again!
Awesome, took my 8 year old... Loved it! He can't wait for the next show.
The play was amazing, the actors had the most amazing voices, so well done. Definitely recommend!
The performance gave me a brand new perspective to wizard of oz story. The performers were excellent.
Wicked was the most incredible show I've seen. I was blown away by how incredible everyone in the show was. I will definitely be seeing it again!
We had amazing seats. First balcony. The show was awesome and truly amazing. The singing was superb and the storyline fit perfectly.
What can I say it was WICKED!!!! :-D. I would recommend this to all that I know
