"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."
"Wow!! Loved every moment of this. I've only seen the movie version with Cynthia and Ariana. I literally preferred the Broadway version!!!! I can't wait to see again!!"

First time at Broadway: Amazing show
"My first Broadway experience (also went solo) and this was the show I chose amongst the popular choices. It was an amazing experience filled with a mix of emotions from some laughter and a lot of wow moments. I would recommend this as a starter show with a mix of good dialogue, humorous moments, and amazing singing and performances from all actors"

Accurate 100%
"I have watched both wicked movies multiple times and the broadway show and movies are so accurate. I was expecting a significant change like back to the future broadway and the movie but I was very impressed. And the quality of the signers give Arianna and Cynthia a run for their money! "

Unforgettable— Must watch every at opportunity!
"I’ve seen WICKED several times - touring, movie, and now BROADWAY. It is without a doubt the most touching, entertaining, breathtaking, and unforgettable musical i’ve ever seen. I find myself listening to the songs over and over, since I was 13 (now im 25)! The new cast in new york was incredible- With great chemistry. Seeing it in the Gershwin was a fantastic experience - the atmosphere, the themed experiences, and their stage were all impeccable. I can go on and on, but please watch this show every opportunity you can. "

Great music, lyrics and a star debut of actress playing Glinda. Very dark.
"Glina and Elphaba actresses, along with the co-stars. Much better than the 2 recent movies. Also fantastic, the band, dancing, comedy and plays on words. The Gershwin was the only theatre that could do it so well. Wish I had seen years ago.

About
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.
