Timings: Monday – Saturday at 7.30pm, Wednesday & Saturday at 2.30pm
Duration: 2 hours 50 minutes
Wicked tells the story of Elpheba (Protagonist) who will become the wicked which of the west and her relationship with the good which of the north Glinda. They struggle with their Friendship due to their opposing characters, viewpoints, rivalry about the same love interest and about the reactions they have about the wizard’s corrupt government.
Sceptical critics had their doubts about the musical. On the surface Wicked sounds like a bad musical based upon a hit movie, but Wicked is based on a best-selling novel. This amazing musical has very emotional songs like ‘No one mourns the Wicked’ and ‘The wizard and I’ and after the musical and hearing the catchy, moving songs a lot of audience members often end up buying the musical soundtrack.
The show may not be suitable for very young children who could get scared by the fantastic, chilling performance of Kerry Ellis as the Wicked Witch. We are, instead, absolutely sure adults and teenagers will love this musical.

The Broadway musical “Wicked” doesn’t just set records in big cities like London’s West End, but even in smaller cities throughout the United States. Take the week box office record that was just made in the Civic Center of Greater Des Moines, a record breaking set that even topped The Lion King of 2006. The show closed out their four week run on Sunday with total attendance of 84,000 and sold out performances everywhere, overall attendance topping out at 97 percent capacity. The best sales week for the Civic Center of Greater Des Moines and Wicked in general was its last where sales topped at $1.5 million, more than $300,000 than the best week on The Lion King run. That means that the total number of participants included more than $5.7 million for its gross; while The Lion King topped out at $6.6 million, it ran for two more weeks.
The biggest impact the show had on the area was its community impact, as $17.3 million were pumped into the area via restaurants and more. “Restaurants downtown have been really happy,” said Convention and Visitors Bureau chief Greg Edwards. Hotels in the area also got a bump, among other areas of tourism.

Wicked News & Reviews:
Wicked tickets are quite simply the biggest thing in theater right now. This Tony Award winning musical has bedazzled both Broadway and London’s West End with its array of grand sets and touching songs. A huge part of the spell Wicked has cast on audiences lies in its basic concept: The Land of Oz prior to the arrival from Kansas of Dorothy and Toto. Wicked is based on a best-selling book, entitled Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire. The tale stands as a wonderful alternative to the (just about) more famous Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the timeless book and motion picture written by L. Frank Baum. Maguire tips his hat to the creator of the concept by naming his Wicked heroine, Elphaba, after Baum (“L-Fa-Ba”). Elphaba is not the only reason Wicked tickets New York sell so well; there are so many interesting and endearing characters in Wicked that even if Elphaba wasn’t in it, Wicked tickets would still be the best-selling theater tickets in the world today. But she is in it, and Wicked is truly Elphaba’s story. From London to Sydney to Broadway, Wicked tickets have sold out theaters. The latest news, that Wicked is to be staged in Sydney Australia, proves how popular the story is. As ever, Wicked New York tickets and Wicked Chicago are the top sellers, though.

Denver is embracing their new ‘Wicked’ theme at Temple Buell Theatre this week. The musical based on the hit film “The Wizard of Oz,” became a Broadway favorite in 2003 when it appeared starring Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel. The Denver area has been fond of the musical ever since as well, not only enjoying tourists from the area into New York City, but the Mile High City has become the only city to host the show for a third separate time. “Dever has enthusiastically welcomed ‘Wicked’ in the past and we are eager to bring it back, both for new audiences to discover the magic for the first time and for fans of the show to relive the experience again,” said the Denver Center for the Performing Arts President Randy Weeks, in a statement. Based on the best selling novel by Gregory Maguire, “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West” as it follows the two stars of the “Wizard of Oz” prior to Dorothy’s arrival. “For me, if you take a familiar story – whether it be the Book of Genesis or “The Wizard of Oz” – and you come at it from another point of view, the tension between the audience’s preconception and the approach you’re taking to the story adds an extra level of response,” said Stephen Schwartz, the composer and lyricist.
