WICKED, Atlanta’s most popular musical, is playing at the Fox Theatre through July 30th as part of the Regions Bank Broadway in Atlanta 2022/2023 season.
The Broadway sensation WICKED looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. You only think you know the story of Oz. But, have you ever wondered why the lion has no courage? Or what happened to the tin man's heart and the scarecrow's brain? Or why Elphaba is green?
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 Glinda, the Good Witch of the South and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. But maybe, Elphaba wasn't really wicked at all, but just misunderstood. She will capture your heart and make you cheer for all those who are misunderstood, different and yes, even green.
WICKED is stunningly choreographed, witty, and at times even laugh out loud funny (pay attention to those one-liners!). It's also heart-wrenching, with beautiful music and a message that many adults and kids can relate to: It's not easy being different.
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.” NBC Nightly News calls the hit musical “the most successful Broadway show ever.”
WICKED turns everything upside down and sets the record straight! Fun for the whole family, Wicked is a tale about love, friendship and trust that reveals that there are two sides to every story. My family loved it and agree that if you only see one show this year, this is the one we would recommend.
Now the 5th longest-running show in Broadway history, WICKED is the winner of over 100 international awards including the Grammy Award and three Tony Awards. Since opening in 2003, 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 been seen by over 60 million people worldwide and has amassed over $5 billion in global sales.
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.
