Since premiering at Broadway’s Gershwin Theatre in 2003, WICKED has been mesmerizing audiences and breaking records, becoming the second highest-grossing musical in Broadway history with over $1.4 billion in tickets sold. Composer-lyricist Stephen Schwartz and book writer Winnie Holzman’s magical “untold true story of the Witches of Oz” has been nominated for 10 Tony Awards — winning three — including Idina Menzel for Best Actress in a Musical as heroine Elphaba. With a captivating score that includes the hits “Defying Gravity” and “For Good,” the WICKED cast album won Best Musical Show Album at the 47th Grammy Awards, with Time magazine cheering, “If every musical had a brain, a heart, and the courage of WICKED, Broadway really would be a magical place.” In addition to Menzel, the star-studded original cast included Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda, Norbert Leo Butz as Fiyero, Joel Grey as the Wizard, Carole Shelley as Madame Morrible, Christopher Fitzgerald as Boq, Michelle Federer as Nessarose, and William Youmans as Doctor Dillamond. WICKED is also the fourth longest-running show in Broadway history.

I brougt my daughter Laila and her friends to see the play Wicked as a birthday gift to her. This was some of the girls first time at a broadway play and they can't stop talking about it. The cast and crew did a phenomenal job. My daughter wants to see it again.
Took my grand children to NYC and to Wicked. They absolutely loved it! I did too, no improvements needed!
We were on a family girls trip celebrating my granddaughters 14 th birthday. Wicked was her top choice for the play she wanted to see. We had fabulous seats and the performance was superb. Great music performed by a great cast.
Wicked is a must see for anyone in New York City. Iconic stage show that brings back wonderful childhood memories of watching the Wizard of Oz. A great combination of well placed comedy and spectacular musical numbers. This is a show that can be enjoyed by all family members. I’ve seen it 3 times and see something new every time.
Overall it was amazing but Glinda was the stand out. I thought everyone contributed so much and it really came together. This is my 4th time seeing it and I loved it
It was awesome! Fiyero was great! Enjoyed immensely!
I’ve seen many broadway shows and this was one of the best. Great music, excellent story twist and fantastic imagery!
Everything about this was perfect from ticket purchase to walking out the door after the cast took their bows.
Funny- powerful the singing moved me to tears. It’s a MUST see
Took my daughter and her 12 year old daughter to see Wicked last Sunday and it was a wonderful experience for all
This was my second time seeing wicked. It was a friends birthday and decided I wanted to have her see this amazing show. We were not disappointed at all this is a show you can go to many times and every time you will fall in love with it’s even more
Wife & I loved this play the first time, wanted a night in the city & see this again. Did not disappoint at all. We usually like seeing new shows, but this one was too good! May even do a 3rd time
From the moment the lights go down to the curtain call, this musical was beautifully done and captivating! The performances were fantastic and they kept you interested in the story and invested in the characters. What a neat take on giving a different narrative on the wizard of oz from the witches perspective. Would reccomend to anyone and everyone!
Pure magic. Everyone at the Gershwin is always so pleasant and kind! Even the usher who took my daughter back into the theater 40 minutes after the show to get her coat!
My sister saw this play and demanded that we see it together. The entire cast was exceptional. I heard several friends say, "It's 2 hours and 45 minutes long." Trust me, it goes by quickly and you will be wishing for more. I highly recommend it.
The theatre was fabulous and entry and security was flawless. As for the show, what can i say but absolutely fabulous. Enjoyed every second and it was the finale to our stay in New York. Worth every penny. Amazing story, music and cast. Cannot recommend it highly enough.
The Gershwin theater was excellent. Really not a bad view from any seat location. The musical Wicked was excellent with a great story line. I highly recommend this show to anyone who has seen the Wizard of Oz.
So glad we picked Wicked for our first night while in NYC, such an amazing show.
We chose what we thought were front row rear mezzanine (right) seats which turned out to be third row left. They were Row A but not on the rail. The show got off on time and the performances were flawless and the costumes and sets were stunning. We have seen “Wicked” a few times and took our teenage grandkids this time. They enjoyed it but not nearly as much as we did! The only complaint, which can’t be fixed, is that we had a large group of young school kids behind us who were adorable but not well chaperoned or trained on how to behave in a theater. Our seats were kicked throughout which was annoying but they were having a good time so we ignored it. Overall, terrific performances in the gorgeous Gershwin Theater.
This was my second time seeing the show. The first time we had balcony seats which worked out great. The second time we brought the kids and thought we would do the orchestra seating ... bad move! If you do not get close up orchestra seating you will be under the balcony and could risk not seeing large portions of the stage. Unfortunately, the limited view caused me to enjoy the show less than I remember liking it the first time. Perhaps lightning does not strike the same place twice.
