WICKED



WICKED, 'Broadway's biggest blockbuster,' and when it played Philadelphia in 2006 and 2007, it broke box office records and sold out in record time. Winner of 20 major awards, including a Grammy® and three Tony® Awards, 'WICKED has every piece of the Great American Musical, and even defines the genre' (The Philadelphia Inquirer). Long before that girl from Kansas arrives in Munchkinland, two girls meet in the land of Oz. One—born with emerald green skin—is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for 'the most complete, and completely satisfying, new musical in a long time' (USA Today).

I went to see Wicked in Philadelphia and I was absolutely blown away. The show is about what happened between Glenda and Elphaba (the wicked witch) before Dorothy entered the picture. I expected a light play with some comedy for children, but it was so much more. By the end of the musical I was moved to tears. I really didn't expect to be so moved by the show and the music, but it was so powerful I couldn't help it. The preformance and actors were incredible, and I can't say enough positive things about this show.


 Even my husband who is not a fan of musicals loved it and said he would gladly go see it again!
