New York's Wicked hosted "Wicked Day" on Sunday, October 28. In partnership with the New York Restoration
Project, Wicked has restored a public community garden at West 150th Street
and Amsterdam Avenue
in Upper Manhattan. NYRP Founder and Chairwoman Bette Midler hosted the opening ceremony, featuring a performance by the cast and a free block
party for the community and Wicked fans.
"The Friendship Garden" is a shared
commitment to keeping New York City's
neighborhoods green. The free block party included games, giveaways, and a
costume contest, plus special exhibits with tips on how to live a greener
life. The opening ceremony was followed by a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Designed by Wicked
associate set designer Edward Pierce, "The Friendship Garden" is a public green oasis in one of New
York City's underserved neighborhoods. The garden features elements inspired by Wicked,
including a yellow brick road and likenesses of the musical's characters, as
well as flexible space for use by the neighborhood and the New Heights
Academy, a charter school
adjacent to the garden.
