Psycho Donuts Creates Limited Edition WICKED Donut

To celebrate the return of WICKED, San Jose's most popular musical, Psycho Donuts has created a limited edition donut that pays homage to the friendship between the show's two leading characters, Elphaba and Glinda. The raised yeast donut is filled with a green-tinted vanilla custard, topped with a strawberry cheesecake icing, and garnished with pearl and sugar crystal sprinkles. The donut is available for a limited time beginning August 8, 2019 at Psycho Donuts' Campbell (2006 Winchester Blvd., Campbell) and Santa Clara (2000 El Camino Real, Santa Clara) locations.

The exclusive Bay Area engagement of WICKED will perform at San Jose's Center for the Performing Arts (255 S. Almaden Blvd.) August 14-September 8, 2019. Tickets are on-sale now at www.broadwaysanjose.com, in-person at the City National Civic Box Office (150 W. San Carlos St., San Jose), or by calling 800-982-ARTS (2787). Group orders of 15 or more may be placed by calling 669-242-8559. Ticket prices are subject to change without notice.

The Broadway sensation WICKED looks at what happened in the Land of Oz...but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin, who is smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships...until the world decides to call one "good," and the other one "wicked."

With a thrilling score that includes the hits "Defying Gravity," "Popular," and "For Good," WICKED has been hailed by The New York Times as "the defining musical of the decade," and by Time Magazine as "a magical Broadway musical with brains, heart, and courage."

Having recently celebrated its 15th anniversary on Broadway, WICKED is the winner of over 100 international awards including the Grammy Award and three Tony Awards. WICKED has been performed in over 100 cities in 16 countries around the world (U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, Germany, Holland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, The Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, Switzerland, and China) and has thus far been translated into six languages: Japanese, German, Dutch, Spanish, Korean, and Portuguese. WICKED has amassed over $4.6 billion in global sales and has been seen by nearly 60 million people worldwide.

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 Tony Award winner Joe Mantello with musical staging by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento. WICKED is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Stage Productions, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt, and David Stone.

WICKED is presented as part of the Broadway San Jose 2019-20 season.

Broadway San Jose is a partnership between The Nederlander Organization of New York and Team San Jose, the managing entity for San Jose's publicly-held performance venues and civic centers.
