Wicked Musical is back in Orpheum Theatre, Memphis TN for its second year. The first show is Wednesday, October 13. Unlike last year, when they sold out in the first week, this year they have plenty of tickets.
Wicked tells the story of two friends who grow apart, one becomes the wicked witch of the west while the other becomes a good witch.
Bryan Landrine, the production stage manager says, “They went to school together. It’s the perception of good and evil and that’s what this show challenges everybody about and that’s why people keep coming back to it.”
He says, “Whether they’re on the sound board, electrics, carpentry, a large portion is for wardrobe, to help the actors get dressed, to wash the costumes and mend the costumes.”
Because it was such a big seller last year, The Orpheum is offering cheaper tickets through a lottery. You have to show up 2 1/2 hours before the show to enter your name.
Wicked’s company manager Erica Norgaard says, “They draw two hours prior to the show and if you win it’s $25 per ticket, cash and you can win up to 2 tickets and that’s every show and that’s a great way of seeing it if you can’t afford top ticket price.” 20 seats will be offered by the lottery each night of the show.
Tickets range from $40 to $143. Buy Wicked Orpheum Theatre TN Tickets Online.
