Storyline
Wicked is the story of two witches, Glinda and Elphaba, who later in life play crucial roles in the story of Wizard of Oz as the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch respectively. The story begins with the two starting their education at Shiz University. While an unlikely bond forms between the two drastically different individuals, the many trials they face, a pesky love triangle, and varying reactions to the corrupt Wizard force them to eventually grow apart and accept their opposing roles in the world. The heart of the story lies in Elphaba’s transformation into the Wicked Witch despite her good intentions.

The show was a 10/10, absolutely amazing. Theatre is old but restored well enough. Seats are low so it's difficult to see if someone is in front of you. Buying the tickets was super easy and convenient.

We enjoyed the show! It was amazing!🤩 We couldn't see very well, maybe for younger kids it is a good idea to provide extra support on the chair.

Their voices were amazing!! And the special effects were great too! Could really feel the dragon rumble, even at the very back which we were. Still had a great experience and could see everything from our seats which were second to the very back row. The seats were great considering the price; I would like to see it again but from a lot closer just for the full full full effect. Would highly recommend the show and the seats ☺️👍🏼
