"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."
"Such an incredible show! Like, WOW! The vocals were incredible! Elphaba was extraordinary and Glinda was the perfect blend of funny, sassy and sincere-also with a very strong voice. I laughed and cried and experienced the whole range of emotions during the show. It made my NYC trip a dream come true. Can’t give it enough stars!!"

A phenomenal show!
"My adult daughter and I flew to NY from Chicago to enjoy Wicked! The cast, set, and venue was absolutely spectacular. Despite seeing the musical years ago in Chicago and of course the movie, this cast gave a stirring performance. This performance exceeded all expectations and pulled us emotionally into the world of Oz. Alphaba and "Ga"linda had performances that exceeded those of the famous movie. The set crew did an amazing job and shout out to the orchestra!! We had the best time at the show. Highly recommend for one and all to enjoy!!"

Wonderful first Broadway show
"This was my first time watching a Broadway show and from the moment the first note played I was in awe. I cried during the first song; I cried during the last song. The performances were amazing. I did try my best to not compare it to the movie version because I wanted to give these performers their due and respect the live craft. The performances were heartfelt and exemplified a pure love for the art. Bravo cast! "

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.”
