"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

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."
"Loved the last song with Elphaba and Glinda, “for good!” Such an emotional song! Entire show was amazing and all of my family loved it. "

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."

Great show
"Absolutely incredible from start to finish. Wicked on Broadway was a breathtaking experience in every possible way. The staging was spectacular, the set design and visual effects were flawless, and the choreography was powerful and perfectly executed by an outstanding cast of dancers. The voices were phenomenal across the board—rich, emotional, and technically stunning.
Glinda was simply impeccable. She was, without question, the highlight of the night. Every note, every gesture, every moment felt effortless and magical. She was born for this role—completely owning the character with charm, precision, and heart. I loved her. Truly unforgettable."

Expectations Exceeded!
"Everything from the singing to the stunts performed in the show was equally captivating and provided a refreshing twist on the Wizard of Oz characters I was used to. A must-see performance! Each cast member added something to the show that thoroughly enhanced the viewing. Allie Trimm wonderfully portrayed Glinda; beautiful voice. Lencia Kebede elevated this performance from 4 to 5 stars! My goodness, her vocals were phenomenal! If the show had ended at "Defying Gravity," I would still have been blown away! But I was glad to get one more dynamic duet by Lencia and Allie!"

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.
