Wicked at Gershwin Theatre

So much happened before Dorothy! That’s exactly what you’re going to get to see at Wicked. This story has become almost as popular as the original, and that’s saying a lot because who’s never heard of The Wizard of Oz? Jealousy, turmoil and some of the top musical numbers that Broadway has ever seen are a part of this story. It’s really the stage setup, though, that brings everything together. Theater junkies will tell you that the greatest productions are the ones that are able to take you into their world from the moment the show starts. Wicked makes sure the audience understands that they are not in Kansas anymore, but, in fact, in the land of OZ.

How the story navigates around the events of the original Wizard of OZ story is a major part of the success. You’re getting a perspective that you would have never expected, especially from the original children’s book that the successful franchise is based on. The light and the darkness are represented with the two witches, and of course, this battle between them as part of a complex relationship is what drives the Wicked narrative! It's surely, not the kid’s show that the Wizard of OZ intended to be. Crowds couldn’t be more happy that this storyline is not afraid to focus on darker themes. At the end of the day this is a story about two witches. They should have their sketchy sides, even the one that’s closer to the light! The story that took over Broadway for seasons upon season is now on the road, and this is your opportunity to see it live in New York, New York
