Meet the witches of Oz before Dorothy dropped in.
“Iconic characters, catchy show tunes, and empowering female friendship, Wicked is musical magic!” (The New York Times).
Welcome to the wonderful Land of Oz, where there is a young woman, 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.
Wicked is “an undisputed juggernaut and one of the biggest productions in musical theatre history” (The New York Times). It’s the original Broadway blockbuster with a score that includes the unforgettable songs “Defying Gravity,” “Popular” and “For Good.” You haven’t truly defied gravity until you’ve seen Wicked live on Broadway. Because when you see it live, you can feel everything.
"The most complete, and completely satisfying, musical I've come across in a long time."

"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
