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.

Fantastic show. Musicians, set design and the performers on the stage were excellent. Only the sound crew needed 5 to 10mins to warm up? Sound was unbalanced in the beginning. I would expect that from a first couple shows. The night i went I believe was into 3rd week. Still would recommend going. Close floor seating provided great viewing of detail.
What an awesome evening. Enjoyed every minute . Saw Wicked in San Fran . Enjoyed both performances . Would go again.
Talent Extraordinaire, acting,dancing and singing Costumes Fabulous
Fabulous .i loved the storyline, and will now watch The Wizard Of Oz in a new light.
Wicked brought tears to my eyes, made me laugh and made me really think about attitudes towards people who are not considered 'normal'. Laurel Harris (Elphaba) was fabulous. I loved her passion, kindheartedness and her capacity to give and love. All the performers were outstanding and the singing was wonderful. It is a must see.
Wonderful broadway production and fantastic seats. The only drawback is that the QE theater is getting long in the tooth and needs updating. The bathroom facilities are hopelessly outdated. But even that could not detract from this wonderful show.
Thoroughly enjoyed the singing and humour. We loved the costumes and the acting was superb
the most boring silly show I have ever seen in any city. Could not understand the words of the songs as the singers were screaming. The whole storyline was stupid. Couldn't wait to leave - which I did when the intermission FINALLY came. This is the only show I have ever walked out of in my life (which has been long). A total waste of money.
WICKED was just that - WICKED!!! Unbelievable showcase of talent. Extremely entertaining. One of the best productions I have ever seen. Fabulous! Highly recommend it! Get good tickets.... its worth it!!
The show itself was amazing, the first half before the intermission was amazing. For a person who has never seen this show before, it kept me interested the whole time. The second half was a little bit less exciting but it was still amazing. Other than that, QE Theatre really sucks for not allowing us to take pictures of anything. We have paid for seats, and we can't even remember anything inside the theatre? Kind of stupid.
Excellent production. A very enjoyable evening and I wouldl highly recommend it.
We loved it! But we thought it was over after the first half!!!! Once the first half ended, everyone got up and was walking out so we followed. Many left the theatre, so again we followed. The usher at the front door didn't comment or suggest that we should hurry back as we walked out the door! Unfortunately we missed the second half! We didn't find out until the next day when we were discussing it with friends who attended a previous performance. We are very upset and disappointed that we missed out on the rest of the show. Note for others - make sure the show is over before you leave!!!
This is probably the best stage performance I have ever seen. Galenda was magnificent - as was the rest of the cast.
If you get the chance to see this musical, go!! The singing is incredible and the story is excellent - quite the twist to what I had assumed the story would be.
I could not be more amazed! It was fantastic. We had an amazing time. The singing was astounding. The vocalists were powerful and have me shivers every time
This musical was well played, humorous and totally captivated my fiancé and I. The story line kept me involved and the emotions of the actors drew me in. It's not often I leave a musical and feel like my emotions have been touched by the great acting and singing.
This is my second time watching WICKED and it's even better than the first time I saw it!
Wicked production was excellent, singing was incredible.
whoever wrote the script. is a GENIUS!! 3 letters W,O,W
