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! "

Colorful Oz comes alive in blonde and green.
"The written tale is a classic. The movies, old and new, have been delightful. But experiencing the live production made "Wicked" the best of all the story lines. Glinda was outstanding. Elphaba was terrific. The staging made the unbelievable so believable. I was entertained to the max. I was prompted to have more empathy for those who may appear to be unusual, but are just as human as I think I am. Actors, musicians, and stage hands all deserve five stars!"

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.
