Third Time's a Charm: WICKED Tour Takes in $7 Million at Cleveland Box Office

By:

Cleveland.com reports that the national tour of Wicked raked in an impressive $7 million in a four week span of what was the show's third Cleveland stop.

Reports Tony Brown: "More than 93,000 Northeast Ohioans paid nearly $7 million to see the third stopover here by the touring Broadway phenomenon that defies gravity and comparisons to other blockbusters. It left Sunday after four weeks.

Despite a short run in 2006, a blizzard in 2008 and a screaming hissy fit last week, the national tour of "Wicked" has racked up $19.3 million in ticket sales here for the New York producers."

As previously reported, on Tuesday, December 15, the Broadway engagement of Wicked will play its 2,535th performance, surpassing Avenue Q to become the 20th longest-running show in Broadway history.

Winner of 26 major awards including the Grammy Award and three Tony Awards, Wicked is the untold story of the witches of Oz. Long before Dorothy drops in, two other 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. Wicked tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.

Declared "A Cultural Phenomenon" by Variety and "The Best Musical of the Decade" by Entertainment Weekly, Wicked currently has productions in New York, San Francisco, London, Tokyo, Stuttgart, Sydney and on two North American tours. Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, and a book by Winnie Holzman. The production is directed by Joe Mantello with musical staging by Wayne Cilento. Wicked is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.

The musical currently stars Dee Roscioli as Elphaba, Erin Mackey as Glinda, Rondi Reed as Madame Morrible, P.J. Benjamin as The Wizard, Kevin Kern as Fiyero, Alex Brightman as Boq, Michelle Federer as Nessarose, and Timothy Britten Parker as Dr. Dillamond.
