Critics’ Reviews (6)

A collection of our favorite reviews from professional news sources.

"The most complete, and completely satisfying, musical I've come across in a long time."

USA Today

Elysa Gardner

"Winnie Holzman's script keeps the gags coming as it cleverly subverts the film that spawned it. Packed with spectacular coups de theatre and magical effects."

The Daily Telegraph

Charles Spencer

"What a spectacle this is! Keep your eye on the witches. These wonderful girls from Oz are a delight."

Newsday

Linda Winer

"Built on songs by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, the show is steeped in talent."

The New York Times

Ben Brantley

""Wizard of Oz" fans will be fascinated by all the back stories, answering such questions as "Is Glinda really that good?" and "Where did the flying monkeys come from?" But the best thing about Wicked is its stars, whose talents cast a poweful spell."

NY1

Rome Torre

"There are flying monkeys, flying witches and flying scenery, but the musical itself truly soars when one of its marvelously talented leading ladies...unleashes the kind of vocal magic that needs no supernatural or even technical assistance."

Variety

Charles Isherwood
