WICKED: SEPTEMBER 14 – 25, 2022
WICKED, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle.

From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story that USA Today cheers is “a complete triumph! An original musical that will make you laugh, cry, and think.”
