The Broadway blockbuster WICKED will welcome new principal cast members to the Gershwin Theatre beginning Tuesday, March 3rd. They will join a company that will include the recently announced Keri René Fuller as Elphaba and Emma Flynn as Glinda.

For the last couple of years or so, theatre nerds everywhere have been besotted with the film version of the hit musical Wicked. After the debut of the first installment, anticipation only grew for Part Two, which dropped this past November. But amid all the brouhaha and ballyhoo over the cinematic offerings, the origins of the musical itself were pushed to the background.

Everything Oz continues to enchant and enamor. The national touring production of WICKED landed at Shea's Buffalo Theatre this week. And like that infamous house that dropped from the sky, WICKED has an impact that rivals any of even the most famous Disney musicals. The 2003 Broadway musical was made into a two part movie and after breaking boxoffice records last year with Part I, Part II will be released this month. Audiences will no doubt clamor to the cinemas like the audiences that continue to flock to see the slick stage musical.

The American Theatre Guild will present Birmingham’s most popular musical, WICKED. This return engagement will kick off the 25–26 Broadway In Birmingham Series at The BJCC.

Wicked will return to Overture Center next month. The show will run in Overture Hall in July 2025. Learn more about Wicked and find out how to get tickets here!

Wicked isn’t just a Broadway favorite. It’s a politically sharp, emotionally layered story about what happens when systems define who’s good and who’s dangerous.

Dear Readers, something struck me last night while watching the juggernaut musical “Wicked”, currently playing at the Paramount Theatre. No, it wasn’t a flying monkey. It’s just how incredible this show is. It’s withstood the test of time ever since it’s Broadway premiere back in 2003 even though it didn’t win the Tony for Best Musical (that year it went to “Avenue Q”). It’s still running on Broadway, there have been tour after tour, and now we even have a huge blockbuster movie version coming to theaters in a few weeks. But why? For that answer I think we should take a look at this current run which, while not my favorite viewing of the show, still exemplifies what makes this show great.
