"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."
"Fantastic show! The standby for Glinda, Jennafer Newberry, was sooo good. Both Elphaba and Glinda have beautiful voices. Just a wonderful evening. "

Wicked was exactly that wickedly wonderful!
"I have been promising my daughter for 20 years she reminded me that I’d take her to see Wicked on Broadway! At 22 she still wants to go out with her mom so I surprised her with tickets for Saturday 2 pm show and we loved it!!! The actors were amazing their voices out of this world and the theatre was beautiful and beyond. It was an amazing experience that I am so thrilled to share with my daughter! We’re making plans to see it again! "

Great show
"I recently had the pleasure of watching Wicked in New York City, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the very first note to the final curtain call, the show had me completely captivated. The performances were absolutely stellar — both leads brought so much emotion, power, and depth to their roles that I found myself completely drawn into their world.
The set design and lighting were breathtaking, transforming the stage into a magical world that felt alive with color and energy. The music, of course, was phenomenal — songs like Defying Gravity and For Good gave me chills and reminded me why Wicked has remained one of Broadway’s most beloved shows for so many years.
I laughed, I teared up, and I left the theater feeling inspired and uplifted. It’s one of those shows that reminds you why live theater is so special. Whether you’re a longtime Broadway fan or seeing your first musical, Wicked is a must-see in NYC. I had such a fun and memorable time — I can’t recommend it enough!"

Wicked Good
"Wicked was a riveting Broadway production! The actors were amazing and played their characters to a tee!
If you have small children it could be scary to them with the monkeys or maybe boring if they don’t know the story line. "

Great show and performance
"I will start off by saying I loved the show personally. I took my 19yr old and 9 year old daughters. My 19yr old was ready to watch is all over again m. My 9 year old first half was antsy but I believe it was because of the movie. The second half she was engaged and loved it. I would definitely watch it again and recommend it 10x over! "

Glinda is excellent!
"The singing is fantastic! The acting is great as well. The costumes are beautiful. The actress currently playing Glinda stole the show. She is amazing! The plat is easier to follow in Act 1 than it is in Act 2. It is a little choppy in Act 2. IT was a wonderful show!"

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.”
