WICKED is a Tony-winning sensation that has been defying gravity and delighting Broadway audiences since 2003. With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, the fantastical prequel to The Wizard of Oz was nominated for 10 Tony Awards after it opened at the Gershwin Theatre in New York City, and won three, including Best Actress for Idina Menzel, who played the original Elphaba. The musical’s first national tour opened in 2005 and ever since, WICKED’s touring production has criss-crossed North America offering theatergoers one short day in the Emerald City filled with magic, music and the ”untold true story of the Witches of Oz.” The second national tour — known as the “Munchkinland Tour” — has been an open-ended production since 2009 and now stars Olivia Valli as Elphaba and Celia Hottenstein as Glinda.

We bought tickets for our daughter, and I wasn't excited about going to the show. I was totally wrong! Wicked was incredible!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! I don’t have the words to describe how incredible it really was!!! A definite MUST see!! Loved every single second!! The venue was beautiful and I loved seeing it! The staff was wonderful! And the performance was out of this world!!
I saw Wicked for the 4th time with my daughter and granddaughter on the occasion of my 70th birthday. It was as wonderful as it was when I saw it in Birmingham so many years ago.
Wicked was great. It is the sixth time that I have seen this play and it did not disappoint. The actors were wonderful. Their voices were exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
We were in box seats with great view. Show was great only issue we had was the audio mix was a bit off. Music played in speakers with the singers, it made some lines hard to hear.
I was so disappointed in the show and it was sad to know that I paid $298 a ticket for my daughter and granddaughter to go with me. My granddaughter fell asleep when the show began and didn’t wake up until it was over. Absolutely not for children!. The only worst thing was after we left trying to get out of downtown Memphis! The traffic and noise was terrible and we will not do this again.
Wonderful cast and show. Taking five ten year olds was a treat for them and me. Loved it.
OMGosh! The best I have seen. I didn't really know what to expect. Wasn't that, though. I absolutely loved it!!!
The show was amazing. Olivia Valli is the best Elphaba ever. She brings a very strong beautiful voice to the show. Olivia makes me connect and feel for Elphaba. The show is funny, has great songs and great costumes. This was my 6th time seeing it and I could see it over and over again. Love WICKED.
The performance was AMAZING! However, I missed part of the second act because the bathroom was a free for all and people just made their own lines and broke in front of others, such that those of us following the rules of etiquette continued to get pushed to the back. This was brought to the ushers' attention and they just shrugged and shook their heads. No one on staff of the Orpheum would help us enforce the lines. I recommend putting in place aisle markers for the restrooms and having someone there with enough guts to enforce them. The ushers had no problem fiercely guarding the doors after they closed. If they had guarded the restroom lines with the same ferocity, no one would have been late.
