SEASON OPTION*REASON TO SEE IT! Seen by over 40 million people worldwide, WICKED has won over 50 major awards including three Tony Awards®.

Page 19: 14 15 Season Brochure

Broadway’s biggest blockbuster is back by “popular” demand. Variety calls WICKED “a cultural phenomenon,” and it continues to break box office records and sell out in record time. 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 makes for “the most complete — and completely satisfying — musical in a long time” (USA Today).
