Wicked, which had a hugely successful Broadway and touring run, will land in California Musical Theatre May 23-June 17, 2012.

In the 2011-12 Broadway Sacramento series, announced today, the popular musical prequel to “The Wizard of Oz” anchors the schedule of six shows. The four-week, 32-performance run of “Wicked” highlights the season’s new format, which has the other five productions running only one week. Each of those productions will be performed eight times.

Richard Lewis, executive producer of California Musical Theatre, predicted that this season will be particularly attractive to audiences. Season subscriptions and overall attendance have steadily declined for the Broadway Sacramento series over the past three years, forcing the shortened runs.

The final show of the season will be the long-awaited Sacramento debut of “Wicked.” Lewis said Broadway Series audiences have asked for the popular title for years.

“We announced ‘Wicked’ last September and the buzz has been really positive ever since,” Lewis said. “We feel we’re going to sell it out and sell it out very quickly.”

Wicked returning to Birmingham, Alabama which was quite successful during its first long run here in 2009. The musical based on a book about the witches in “The Wizard of Oz” is still going strong on Broadway, and its national tour is still among the country’s most sought-after.

Wicked flows in to Saroyan Theatre, the biggest musical theater production Fresno has ever seen. Wicked tells the story of the witches from the “Wizard of Oz,” opens Wednesday night in Fresno and runs until Sunday, April 17, 2011

Each of “Wicked’s” 16 performances are expected to sell out, or at least come close, meaning downtown eateries are looking at upward of 2,000 people finding their way to the area every day of the run.

“This is the first time we’ve had a long-running Broadway show,” says Jan Minami, interim president and CEO of PBID Partners of Downtown, what was once the Downtown Association. “It’ll reach a different and obviously broader audience,” she says. “I think it’s a tremendous opportunity.”
