Wicked at Gershwin Theatre

There's more to Oz than just Dorothy's story. That’s exactly what you’re going to get to witness at Wicked. This production has become almost as popular as the original, and that’s saying something because who’s never heard of The Wizard of Oz? Drama, intrigue, and some of the top musical numbers that Broadway has ever produced are a part of this musical. It’s actually the stage design, though, that brings everything together. Theater junkies will know that the greatest plays are the ones that are able to take you into their world from the moment the curtains open up. Wicked makes sure the crowd understands that they are not in Kansas anymore, and they are, actually, in the land of OZ.

How the play portrays the events of the original Wizard of OZ story is amazing. You’re getting a perspective that you would have never imagined, especially from the original children’s book that the successful franchise is based on. The light and the darkness combine by the two witches, and of course, this battle between them within a complex relationship is what drives the Wicked narrative! Definitely, not the kid’s show that the Wizard of OZ intended to be. Crowds couldn’t be more happy that this adaptation is not afraid to tackle darker themes. After all this is a story about two witches. They gotta have their sketchy sides, even the one that’s closer to the light! The show that wowed Broadway for years is now on the road, and this is your opportunity to see it live in New York, New York

The Gershwin Theatre is an incredible venue to see a show like this. You can guarantee that the production team will be able to craft the World of OZ on this stage and make it palpable to everyone inside the theater. Naturally, not every seat is created equal. As is the case for most of these musical productions, you may be better off finding a spot toward the middle of the room, a few rows back from the stage. From here, you’ll have the best perspective from which to see Wicked. Hit the get tickets button today to be a part of the fun on Thursday 28th August 2025. Tickets are starting at only $171!
