SNEAK PEEK FOR THE 2023-2024 SEASON 

  • We are thrilled to share that the 2023-2024 Season will include WICKED. The best way to guarantee tickets to WICKED is to purchase a season package for the 2022-2023 season. Subscribers will then have the opportunity to renew for the 2023-2024 season and secure their seats for the engagement of WICKED before tickets become available to the general public.

    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.”
