Wicked 2024 Performance Schedule
The Wizard will see you now! Wicked is playing day and night in New York City’s Gershwin Theatre, it’s longtime home where the beloved Broadway show premiered two decades ago. Have you had a chance to enter the wondrous world of Oz? Seen not through the eyes of Dorothy but of Elphaba, the most misunderstood witch of all time?
That’s right, the “Wicked Witch of the West” may not be as villainous as we were led to believe. She has green skin but a heart of gold, and details her backstory throughout Wicked. All in the form of insane high notes, gravity-defying stunts (pun intended) and the power of friendship. Along with Manhattan, the show is also playing in ten other US cities in 2024 — including Detroit, MI, Memphis, TN, and Denver, CO. However, we’ll always recommend seeing the original production in the Gershwin Theatre. Why? Let us explain.
Wicked just celebrated its 20th anniversary last year, commemorating years of accolades that include becoming the second-highest-grossing Broadway show of all time. But it’s reached the end of the rainbow a thousand times over since Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth originated the roles of Elphaba and Glinda, respectively, in 2003. The Tony-winning performance is even set to become a smash musical film starring Ariana Grande within the next couple of years! Therefore, creating a visual and auditory spectacle that transcends from the stage to the cinema.
Even if you’re not a seasoned theatre-goer, you’ll likely recognize a few Wicked show-stoppers that have been immortalized in musical theatre history. Perhaps the most popular? “Defying Gravity,” the breathtaking number that exemplifies everything that Wicked is about. Your jaw will drop to the floor with Elphaba’s sky-high notes, dripping in passion as she ascends into the air on her broom in search of safety.
And things only get more intense with further songs from Stephen Schwartz’s famous score, including “No One Mourns The Wicked,” “Popular,” “I’m Not That Girl,” and “No Good Deed.”The music not only complements the narrative but also enhances the emotional impact of the characters’ journeys. You’ll feel an instant connection to Elphaba as she navigates the blurred lines of identity, friendship, good vs. evil and so much more. All in conjunction with one of Broadway’s most epic musical scores.
As you wait for the movie to come out, why not book a trip to New York City and experience Wicked firsthand at the Gershwin Theatre? It’s a must-see for any theatre fan, and you’ll be blown away by this legendary show. Get Wicked tickets today!
