It's officially spooky season in New York City and no other place does Halloween quite like NYC. If you’re feeling festive this October, here's a selection of shows that will scratch that witchy itch and fill you with some Halloween spirit.

What You'll Learn About

Wicked

October is an especially exciting time to see Wicked on Broadway. The iconic musical celebrates 22 years of defying gravity at the Gershwin Theatre. If you have never experienced Oz in person, don’t delay another day. Or if you’ve seen it 14 times, how could you resist one short day in the Emerald City? The international sensation has introduced audiences to the story of Glinda and Elphaba before Dorothy came to Oz and has become as legendary and beloved as The Wizard of Oz itself.
