Stephen Schartz’s ingenuity and aptitude breach generation gaps, from beloved Disney films to unadulterated Broadway magic. The hit-making virtuoso who brought Godspell and Pippin to the world has now breathed life into Broadway-blockbuster Wicked, which comes to Gershwin Theatre for the summer playbill.
Wicked smartly weaves bureaucratic criticisms, unconventional heroes, and improbable love within a medley of catchy tracks, including Defying Gravity, which continues to ignite and inspire audiences on Broadway and beyond.
The story follows Elphaba, the adulterine daughter of the wife of Munchkinland’s governor. Despite her family and identity issues, Elphaba makes it into the highly regarded Shiz University, where she bunks with social butterfly Galinda. Two complete opposites don't take to each other at first but soon become allies.
Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse when Elphaba notices nefarious crimes against the Animals, a sentient race often targeted by persecution. Galinda and Elphaba go to the Wizard for help, but the Wizard disappointingly offers little assistance. A let-down Elphaba leaves the Emerald City to fight for justice for the Animals, leaving Galinda and her studies at Shiz University behind.
Meanwhile, Galinda climbs the social ladder, marries Fiyero, the Captain of the Guard, and pursues an socialite lifestyle. Elphaba returns and unwittingly earns Fiyero’s admiration as he falls in love with her. Will the couple’s love flourish unburdened, or will Elphaba’s agenda push Fiyero away, and kill her?
Wicked kicked off its first live performance 20 years ago at San Francisco’s Curran Theatre. As its popularity spread, it made its way into new theatres year after year, receiving international acclaim across multiple countries and continents. Its potential to draw audiences also prompted Hollywood producers to release a two-part motion picture based on the Broadway show, that hit cinemas in November 2024.
Wicked earned numerous awards during its heyday in the 2000s, including 2 Drama Desk Awards, 3 Tony awards, and a Grammy award for Best Musical Theater Album. The cast and crew performing at Gershwin Theatre on Wednesday 9th July 2025 promise to deliver an epic performance.
Gershwin Theatre offers the perfect location to watch this iconic musical. You’ll enjoy more than a basic story about magic, witches, and crazy monkeys in this critically acclaimed Broadway show. Gershwin Theatre and its professional staff immerse you in an ambiance that links characters, settings, and themes you’ll love and hate. Tickets for Wicked start at $167, so reserve your seats, take flight, and experience the magic of Oz!
