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!"

Lovely Monday evening razzle dazzle

"From the dragon opening to the literal smoke and shadow play, this edition of Wicked the Musical was brilliantly done. Having two of the cast from the UK version in lead roles definitely gave it an interesting twist!"

Unmistakably WONDERFUL

"This was a special Christmas gift to help guide my daughter and I spending a few days across the summer in a new city we’ve never been to. Wicked was the main event, and oh boy… my 10-year-old was LOCKED in from the start all the way until the finish. As her father, I was thoroughly engaged too. We heard so many great things, but nothing would better tell the story than to actually experience it together. We live 12 hours from each other now too because of my job, so this particular trip was very important. And the show, MAGICAL. Act I was so good we thought it was over after LOL, such a memorable and fantastic evening we’ll never forget!"
