"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."
"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!"

Better than the movie
"After seeing the movie with my daughter, I wanted to surprise her with tickets to the show — and we were both blown away. It was even better than the movie, by far. Hands down, I’d recommend it to anyone visiting New York. A perfect 10 out of 10!"

Excellent show!!
"My husband, daughter and I attended Wicked and LOVED every minute of it! It had been a dream of mine to attend a show on Broadway for a very long time, and this performance checked every box! Everyone performed their role expertly but Glinda really stood out in the group. Her voice was magnificent, her timing superb and her mannerisms added an extra special touch. Thank you for an excellent performance! "

No spoilers even if you saw the movie
"100% enjoyed it. I saw the movie before but even if you saw it there were no spoilers, the acting, the songs, the sets took you away and fully immersed you from beginning to end. I was surprised how much the kids in the audience seemed to enjoy it. So stop reading and go see Wicked now!"

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.”
