What did our critic think of WICKED at Straz Center?

WICKED is a wily piece of pop. It turns 20 this year, but you'd never know that sitting in Dr. Phillips Center for the show's third tour stop in Orlando. Its shrewd indictment of society's worst instincts and most seductive assumptions still tear through a room like a twister...

The National Tour of Broadway sensation WICKED will welcome new cast members beginning next month!

Wicked is back in Chicago. The first time it played here, it ran for more than three and a half years.

It’s been almost 19 years since Wicked debuted on Broadway, but you would never know it by the reception Sacramento gave the national tour this week.  Read our critic's review of the show 'Wicked has lost none of its salability and the energy was palpable in the room in anticipation of the show that surpassed Les Miserables to become Broadway’s fifth longest-running musical.'

Without theatre our lives feel a little emptier these days right? Well, Becca Brown has decided to find a way to bring the theatre conversation back.
