The Daily Telegraph
Charles Spencer

""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."
"I went to see Wicked on Broadway with my mom, who is visiting from Korea. It was an absolutely amazing show!! The songs were beautiful, and the vocals were perfect and powerful. We were so impressed by the casts and the performance. All the staff members were kind as well. It was definitely an unforgettable experience with my mom. I highly recommend this show to anyone! "

Breathtaking !
"I think the Wicked is must-see for every Broadway fan. I loved everything, the details , the music, the singing. The costumes were great and the atmosphere was really taking you into the Emerald City! The only thing I would actually tell you to consider is your clothes . If you are visiting at summer please remember to take a coverup with you cause the air conditioning is STRONG. "

Absolutely EVERYTHING!
"The current cast is amazing, from Elphaba and Glinda to Fiyero and Boq! I was so emotionally moved by the performances and could not believe the spectacular performances and of course the amazing voices of the entire cast! Keri René Fuller is one of the very best Elphaba castings in years, definitely paying respect in such an extraordinary ways to the Elphaba Idina Menzel originated!"

Absolutely LOVED this musical!!!
"The singing voices of the three leads were incredible (Keri René Fuller, Emma Flynn and Carl Man)! The sound was perfect and the stage and set were all amazing. I had not seen the movie or read the book, so I truly got to enjoy the story as it unfolded. It was so well done. We were all crying at the end and loved it so much. My first Broadway production in NYC and I could not have been happier with my choice. I want to see it again! "

Wicked
“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.
