"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

The New York Times

""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."

Great production!
"Loved the production, creativity and commitment from the cast/production team. Small details were awesome and seamless presentation. I would say some of the cast could've projected their voices a bit more while singing."

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)."

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. 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.
