Make sure to get seats in the middle section and not to close to the orchestra to enjoy the actors who actually fly around and over the stage. Excellent performance by all the actors and... More

Wicked is amazing! The show is family friendly--probably 8 and up would do great with this gem of a show. This is the "back story" of The Wizard of Oz and you will never view the Judy Garland original in the same way.

I was really looking forward to the show, and Wicked exceeded my high expectations. I wasn't expecting the show to be funny. It really was. The quality of the acting and vocals was really high. The show strayed from Gregory Maquire's Wicked a bit more than I would have liked, but he just made the whole back story to Wizard... More

My husband had never been to a broadway show before, and I was a little worried. There was enough humour in it to keep him entertained. He can't stop talking about it.

Colourful, bright, feelgood musical. Big barn of a theatre so try to get the stalls/orchestra rather than the circle if you can.

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.
