"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."
"From the beginning to the end Wicked was terrific. The leads were not only remarkable singers but also accomplished actors. I loved watching the conductor and the music added tremendously to every part of the performance. I truly loved it."

Wonderful Show!
"The show was wonderful, such an incredibly talented cast - Especially Glinda, Allie Trim was made for that role!
I do recommend paying a little extra for level 1 seating, as sitting in the higher levels didn't provide the best view of the stage at times. I found myself leaning left/right/forward to see what was going on.
Otherwise, absolutely recommend to anyone visiting and looking for a show to see! You won't regret it!"

Wonderful Adaptation
" This was my first Broadway show. We bought inexpensive seats on the mezzanine level but it was a fabulous experience! Even though I couldn't see the faces "clearly" from those seats, it didn't matter. The performers, the sounds, their gestures, the production, singing and costumes provided all that I needed to understand the story in its' entirety.
The staff at The Gershwin Theatre were extremely personable, helpful and made attending the event very enjoyable.
I loved it and so glad we chose to see Wicked for our first Broadway show!"

I want to see it again.
"I saw the first movie, read all of the books, which by the way are very dark and way different that the play and movie. My sister and niece haven't seen the movie and they loved it. If I didn't live so far away I would go back often. My great niece who just turned 12 loved it. "

Better than I thought.
"It was wonderful in so many ways. The music,
the actors, the creative storyline, the set and the whole experience was very up lifting. I think my husband and I are about the only people two people on the planet who haven’t seen “Wicked” on broadway. It took us 22 years but it was well worth the wait and it definitely lived up to the hype!! Although it’s been running for 22 years, it definitely resonates in our current time.
I do think it might be a little scary for anyone under 12 but perfect for everyone else. What a wonderful play! Enjoy!

Wicked is THE BEST SHOW ON BROADWAY!!!
"I was a little skeptical coming back to see wicked at the Gershwin theater on Broadway after seeing this in 2007. 18 years later I was absolutely stunned that it was just as good if not better than before! I left defying gravity elated at such an incredible performance! I hadn't been to Manhattan in over a decade and boy it did not disappoint!"

So good!
"I loved the whole show! As my first Broadway show experience, I wasn't sure what to expect, but this blew me away. The comedic timing was great and the singing was superb. The first half was funny and the last scene/song before intermission was phenomenal! If I had to add constructive criticism, it would be that the storyline in the second portion of the show seemed a little rushed. But the entire show was amazing and was a highlight of our trip to NY."

About
Wicked
Wicked, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another girl, 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.”
