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

The Unforgettable Spectacle

"From the moment the curtain rises, you are swept away by the mesmerizing performances, stunning visuals, and a storyline that delves deep into the untold backstory of the iconic witches from "The Wizard of Oz." The casting is impeccable, with each actor bringing their character to life with depth and charisma. Bravo to the entire cast and crew for delivering an unforgettable experience!"

Spectacular. Magical. New cast was impressive

"Seeing a show on the of a new cast can be unpredictable. You would think new performers need some time to sink into their characters. But last nights new cast excelled beyond expectations. Kerri Renee Fuller blew the roof off the building with such powerful vocals- she rivals all the greatest vocalists who have played this part including Idina! Emma Flynn as Glinda had unbelievably gorgeous full vocals with a flawless legit soprano as the role calls for- but equally as impressive was her acting ability full of charm, comedic aptitude and warmth. Although this was her Broadway debut- having never played the role in a national tour or as a standby- she sunk into Glinda’s character as if she was born to play this part. The chemistry between the 2 female leads was palpable and gave integrity to this great story of their friendship. Highly recommend this show and cast for a memorable rendition!"

Her passion and drive have been fueled even more after watching Wicked! My Elphaba loving girl said she wants play Glinda! 10/10! We will be back to see Wicked again! "

An Unforgettable Emotional Journey — Wicked on Broadway

"Incredible. Absolutely unforgettable. Wicked isn’t just a show — it’s an emotional experience. From the very first note to the final bow, every moment pulls you in. The vocals were powerful, the performances were deeply moving, and the storytelling was beautiful and layered. You truly feel every emotion — joy, heartbreak, empowerment, and awe. The production itself is stunning: breathtaking sets, gorgeous costumes, and seamless transitions that keep you completely immersed. The chemistry between the cast was electric, and “Defying Gravity” gave me full-body chills. This is one of those shows that stays with you long after you leave the theater. If you’re even considering seeing it — do it. Pure Broadway magic."
