"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."
"It’s Wicked. That’s really all I need to say. You’ve gotta see it. It’s a 100/10 experience. Absolutely phenomenal production, cast, set design, music, everything. Absolutely worth the money. "

Was not dissapointed in any way
"After all the recent movie ‘Hype’, was worried that the musical would be less enjoyable, but I was totally wrong. The show is spectacular, being a ‘Live’ performance added to the experience. I hightly recommend seeing it ‘in-person’. The Cast is excellent! I will say the that the ‘Gershwin Theater’ could use some ‘refreshing’ as seats are very worn, yet comfortable. Sound, Set Design, Lighting all great."

Superb production
"Wicked is a classic musical and has been beloved for many years for good reason. The production is a love letter to the art of musical theater with thought-provoking and memorable music, eye-catching costumes, and a timeless message. This season's cast (May 2026) brought their passion and incredible talent to the stage with infectious enthusiasm. I am still getting chills thinking about the beautiful vocal blend of "As Long As You're Mine" and giggling at Glinda's bubbly "Popular." I wish I could watch and enjoy this show over and over, and I highly recommend it for all fellow musical fans (parents should double check their comfort level with the scarier thematic material before bringing young children)."

So fun.
"Really nice, amazing singers, and so funny. The sets are gorgeous. If you need a booster seat, grab it early, they do run out. We went into it blind for my child's 11th birthday, and they laughed and loved it and had such a good time. So much talent, a must-see."

Wickedly awesome
"Everything from the set design to the actors and especially the singers is 100% fantastic.. the 1st half closer is as expected superb but the second half has its own outstanding tunes that the performers on the night did justice too. Suspend belief and see this before, after or having never seen the films and you will still enjoy and love it, I'm sure... "

Spectacular. Magical. New cast was impressive
"Seeing a show on the of a new cast can be unpredictable. You would think new performers need some time to sink into their characters. But last nights new cast excelled beyond expectations. Kerri Renee Fuller blew the roof off the building with such powerful vocals- she rivals all the greatest vocalists who have played this part including Idina! Emma Flynn as Glinda had unbelievably gorgeous full vocals with a flawless legit soprano as the role calls for- but equally as impressive was her acting ability full of charm, comedic aptitude and warmth. Although this was her Broadway debut- having never played the role in a national tour or as a standby- she sunk into Glinda’s character as if she was born to play this part. The chemistry between the 2 female leads was palpable and gave integrity to this great story of their friendship. Highly recommend this show and cast for a memorable rendition!"

An Unforgettable Emotional Journey — Wicked on Broadway
"Incredible. Absolutely unforgettable.
Wicked isn’t just a show — it’s an emotional experience. From the very first note to the final bow, every moment pulls you in. The vocals were powerful, the performances were deeply moving, and the storytelling was beautiful and layered. You truly feel every emotion — joy, heartbreak, empowerment, and awe.
The production itself is stunning: breathtaking sets, gorgeous costumes, and seamless transitions that keep you completely immersed. The chemistry between the cast was electric, and “Defying Gravity” gave me full-body chills.
This is one of those shows that stays with you long after you leave the theater. If you’re even considering seeing it — do it. Pure Broadway magic."

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.
