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.
It was the best show that Iv'e seen so far. There was never a dull moment. Time went by so quick and I was sad it ended. A great story, acting , light and SINGING!. perfect. I'd love to see it AGIAN.
This was a great re-invention of the classic tale.
So I bought tickets to WICKED as a gift for my girlfriend. Seriously, I did not want to go to a musical or better yet a musical about THE WIZARD OF OZ. Boy, was I surprised. This was an awesome show. I repeat. It was really awesome. The story moved along well, the songs were fun and there was a lot of comedy relief, making it very enjoyable for all.
It's a must see. It will make you laugh, the costumes are incredible! I enjoyed it in San Francisco and I am off to New York next month and plan to see it again!
This musical is fantastic. The musical numbers are catchy and fun. The stage and props are whimsicle and extravagant. It is great how the storyline from the Wizard of Oz is brought into this musical at various times just to tie them together! Loved every moment of it!
This show was the most amazing musical... the story is so well written and the way they it ties into the movie is fantastic...everything made sense!!! The music was awesome... it brought tears to my eyes. This is a show that CAN"T be missed for anything... I will watch it everytime I come across it where ever I travel.... I'd give it 100 stars if I could
"Wicked" was amazing!! I haven't seen very many large scale shows before, but I heard this one was unbelieveable and didn't want to miss the experience. I dragged my husband with me and he LOVED it. I would recommend this show to anyone. The actors had me on the edge of my seat. I was captivated by the talent, but also the little personality quirks that the "good" and "bad" witch brought to the stage. They made me feel like I was a part of the show. Unbelieveable.
Wicked was amazing! The play was funny, well done and it fit perfectly into the Wizard of Oz movie. It gives a whole new perspective on the Wicked Witch of the West.
When I told my best of 36 years that I was visitng SF, he so enthusiastically recommended me to see the musical play and insisted that "Wicked" would give me more pleasure than Prada sandals. I was skeptical but bought the tickets online (one for my co-worker as well). My first pleasant surprise was to see Patty Duke's name in the cast. She has been one of my all-time favourite actresses ever. She is still an incredible actress! All in all, the whole play had many layers and depths. I cried, laughed, got angry with those ignorant and shallow people and was deeply touched by what friendship is all about. A real emotional roller-coaster!
This was the second time that I've seen this show and I would recommend it to everyone. It's got something for everyone and is a real 'feel good' production.
It was the best live thing (concert, play, musical, etc) that I have ever seen. We want to see it again! The singing, the story, the acting, all were 5 stars! GO SEE THIS!!
I really enjoyed the show. Terrific sets but sometimes seemed like a little too much going on. Tons of fun choreography. Loved the school stuff. And all the green lights! Patty Duke was very good on stage - great stage presence. A few of the others seemed to get overshadowed. Loved the theatre. Kind'a rubby area of town - did not feel safe outside. Show security was out for a while before and after show which was good. Still, overall, glad we went and would go again.
Wicket was a good show but was a bit off at times. Really good production value. The witch was great had a great voice. A little cheesy at times but musicals should be. Parts of the story felt like it was dragging on and at times I wish it would just end.
The theatre and set looked amazing. Excellent story and singing was impressive. Great for all ages and the story as a prequel to Wizard of Oz had no holes.
Really a great show! Entertaining as hell and awesome singing. The only negative point I can think of is that English isn't my first language and I had problems to get all that jokes or lyrics because they are said singing and I did not understood it all (throught I got the general meaning). anyways it was really nice and creative and worth the money,
Wicked is an incredible experience for anyone interested in theater, music, impressive characters and/or the behind the scenes story of The Wizard of Oz. Costumes, lighting and all the special effects brought cheers, applause and laughter from the audience. The Orpheum Theater itself is a great venue (although street signage in the theater district is a bit light) and the whole event is a wonderful reminder that one should 'not judge a book by its cover' or 'a person by the colour of her skin'!
Seeing Wicked in it's hometown (San Fransisco) was simply brilliant ! The original editors in hollywood cut out too much cellinoid. The "reel" story is told of courage, heart and friendship. I have many friends, of a few I can call close, and I see the same values in them, true blue.
One of the better musicals I have seen in a long time. The production was excellent. The music marvellous. The actors were great. Fun night out in San Francisco.
great cast, effects - one of the highlights of my visit to san francisco
We really enjoyed this show from beginning to end. The lead characters were very well cast and had great voices. The special effects and costumes were perfect, compelling but not over powering. The Orpheum Theatre was a great venue, and we're looking forward to our next trip back to the area. This really made our trip. Loved it !
