Ever wanted to see what a WICKED curtain call looks like from the Gershwin Theatre stage? Now you can, as WICKED has just posted a Facebook 360 picture, which enables viewers to click and drag around a complete stage view, three hundred and sixty degrees of swankified, interactive photo goodness. Check out the whole photo here!

WICKED composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz made his first appearance at San Diego Comic-Con this year, at CW3PR's 8th Annual Behind the Music Panel, where he announced the first details of the Universal Studios Wicked movie.

On October 30, 2003, the institution of what we call American Musical theatre would never be the same. This highly anticipated musical hit Broadway running with box office success and two stars top billed. The wickedly talented Idina Menzel (Elphaba) and Kristin Chenoweth (Galinda) were the talks of the town in Stephen Schwartz's new musical. The magical question is, how do you keep a musical relevant and box office worthy in this day and age when rapping forefathers capture the masses? My answer is, if it ain't broke, then don't fix it. This show evolves in every way, from the music, movement, costume and make-up design we are taken on a magical journey.

The beauty of a long-running Broadway show is being able to see an iconic role portrayed by more than just one star.

Beginning Monday, August 1, JENNIFER DiNOIA will assume the role of Elphaba in the Broadway company of WICKED.  Jennifer has performed the role of Elphaba in seven companies across four countries, more than any other actress in the show's history.  

The frequent Elphaba performer gave a knockout performance of WICKED's inspirational theme for the annual fair's opening ceremony.

Broadway's current Elphaba will offer fans a more intimate evening of music at Broadway's Supper Club.

PEOPLE has exclusively shared video of Broadway's original Elphaba and Glinda, Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, performing the iconic WICKED duet, 'For Good.'

Sterling Masters hails from Charlotte, NC and is currently appearing in Wicked on Broadway. Long before she made her Broadway debut in the show she grew up dancing in her mom's dance studio. She competed in dance competitions and still holds the record for being the first and only dancer to hold all four titles for Carolina Dance Masters. After a brief stint at Florida State, Sterling was cast in the national tour of Fosse and never looked back. She went on to perform (and dance captain) national tours of Thoroughly Modern Millie, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Wicked, to name a few.
