What is Wicked on Broadway about?

Wicked, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle.  Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another 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.” With a thrilling score that includes the hits “Defying Gravity,” “Popular” and “For Good,” Wicked has been hailed by The New York Times as “the defining musical of the decade.” Time Magazine cheers, “if every musical had the brain, the heart, and the courage of Wicked, Broadway really would be a magical place.”

For over 20 years, Wicked on Broadway has enchanted audiences at the legendary Gershwin Theatre, earning its place among the longest-running and most acclaimed musicals in history. With spectacular staging, dazzling costumes, and unforgettable music by Stephen Schwartz, this Tony Award-winning show offers a perfect night out for tourists, locals, and families. Whether you’re a longtime fan or experiencing the magic of Wicked for the first time, secure your tickets today and discover why this extraordinary musical is one that truly “defies gravity.”
