"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."
"Everything about this production was perfection. Defying Gravity takes your breath away. And my favorite song "For Good" is still the best, a song with so much meaning and performed to perfection in this production."

We brought our six-year-old granddaughter as a birthday present
"While we brought our six year old granddaughter, she did not appreciate the nuances of the characters. I thought the music, the singing and performances were wonderful. A lesson about good and evil."

Best Show Currently on Broadway!
"Wicked is without a doubt the best show that is currently playing on Broadway. The entire cast was outstanding and I had chills the whole time because the performance was so powerful. With a combination of iconic musical numbers, excellent humor, and elaborate stage effects, the beauty of Wicked will change you for good. Regarding children, I would personally only take those eight years of age or older. There are messages in the show that younger children may not be able to understand and some scenes that they might find frightening. Otherwise, if you are in NYC or planning a trip, book tickets to Wicked ASAP you will not regret it!"

2nd Wicked show Awesome
"Love the show. 2nd time seeing this show. Fast pace, great performance. The stage, scenery, costumes are great. The music is fantastic.
Enjoy seeing the children dressed for the show in their costumes. Sat in section x10-great view.
We did have some young children that couldn’t sit still and were yelling replies during the show.
Highly recommend this show to all."

Country boy. Big City.
"My daughter recently graduated from high school, and for her senior trip, all she wanted was to see Wicked on Broadway. My wife and I took her up to NYC for the weekend to see it. I was so blown away by the production and music that I had to watch the movie on the plane on the way home. This show made an impression on this Mississippi boy! Wicked may have started a new tradition for our family!"

The Wicked Obsessors Were Right!
"This was my first time seeing Wicked, in any capacity, and all of my Wicked-obsessed friends were right: it's spectacular. The sets are amazing, the costumes are beautiful and colorful, the music is glorious. The story feels rather prescient right now, but maybe it always has. The cast we saw was absolutely fantastic. There are some bright lights and loud noises, and people dressed as flying monkeys. I didn't consider any of these scary enough to not take children, but possibly startling enough to at least warn them they'll them. "

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.”
