After record breaking runs in 2006, 2008 and 2011 WICKED, Broadway's biggest blockbuster, will return to Ft. Lauderdale this January for a limited 3-week engagement, January 30 - February 17, 2013. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production below.

What can I write about Wicked that hasn't already been written? The musical has been a hit since opening on Broadway in 2004 and now has productions around the globe and two touring productions in the United States. Some write of the power of its' message and others lament its' shortcomings. But I am writing this piece and therefore I have the freedom to say that Wicked is my favorite musical, hands down. Wicked played in St. Louis through January 6th and lucky for me the Fox Theatre is just a short journey down the yellow brick road from Des Moines.

After breaking box office records in the three previous engagements, WICKED, Broadway's biggest blockbuster, has once again set records at the Fabulous Fox Theatre. WICKED grossed $2,755,070 for the week ending December 30. The total was not only a new house record at the Fabulous Fox Theatre, but also the highest gross for a week of performances in North American touring history.

WICKED is pure spectacle, or to quote Glinda the Good Witch herself, it's a "thrill-ifying" experience that dazzles and delights, with terrific performances and eye-popping scenic design and special effects. The plot gives a back story to L. Frank's Baum's Wizard of Oz, that is unexpected, and infused with a positive message about accepting people for who they are and not how they appear.

It's not hard to realize why WICKED remains a huge favorite for theatergoers and even for those with a less musical inclination.

After record breaking runs in 2006, 2008 and 2011 WICKED will return to Ft. Lauderdale this January for a limited 3-week engagement. Tickets for the return engagement go on sale at 10:00am on Friday, November 16th.

The second North American tour of WICKED is currently running. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the new cast members below, including Christine Dwyer as Elphaba, Jeanna de Waal as Glinda, Gina Ferrall as Madame Morrible and Paul Kreppel as The Wizard.

The company of the second North American tour of WICKED will welcome Jeanna de Waal as Glinda on Wednesday, June 27 in E. Lansing, MI.

Wicked has clearly established itself as a runaway success, so I don't think what people need now is my personal "review" of the show. Ever since being nominated for the Tony Award for best musical, people have known that the show is good. But I do want to put in my two cents about seeing the touring company at the Durham Performing Arts Center.
