We'd seen the Lion King last year at Vegas and were wondering if any other show could (ever) equal it. While not in the same class - Wicked comes very very close. If you have seen/read the Wizard of Oz, you'll enjoy this one more but makes sense even otherwise. Great story line, excellent in every respect. Go see it. More

This is another must see show when in NYC. I was able to do the backstage tour and the cast who toured us were helpful and amazing. They were so accommodating with our questions and I had a chance to take pictures with them. It's amazing to know how a broadway show is created. <3 <3 <3 More

Clever and witty, amusing and thought-provoking, and exactly the sort of spectacle you want when you pay for Broadway tickets. If you like Broadway musicals, this is a must-see. If you've read the books, you still won't be bored. More

I became really jaded about Broadway shows because they seemed to lack the energy of decades past until I saw Wicked. The set is gorgeous, the story is creative and captivating, the costumes are beautiful, the songs are witty and heartfelt, and the characters are compelling. I would gladly go see this show again. My husband isn't into theater and... More

I don't know where to begin,This was such a great experience for me. We started with delicious "ozmopolitans" and then sat in great seats in the front mezzanine. The stage, costumes, music and singing was Fantastic! We finished with meeting some of the cast at the stage door. thanks for a great time! More

Curent cast is wonderful and had me in stitches, especially Glinda...or should I say "Gah-linda"? Last song "I knew you for good" turned on my waterworks that ran for quite a while. Wonderful. More
