Broadway’s Blockbuster Wicked Becomes Fourth Longest-running Production in Broadway History April 11
Broadway’s Biggest Blockbuster Wicked Surpassed ‘Cats’ to become fourth longest-running Production in Broadway History on April 11, 2023.
The Stephen Schwartz-Winnie Holzman musical plays its 7,486th performance at the Gershwin Theatre, becoming the fourth longest-running production in Broadway history, surpassing another Lloyd Webber musical, Cats.
Wicked began previews on Broadway October 8, 2003, with an official opening October 30. The original cast included Tony winners Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth as, respectively, the green-faced, misunderstood Elphaba and the curly-locked Glinda.
The musical, based on Gregory Maguire’s best-selling novel, has played both on Broadway and in London’s West End, as well as touring cities all over the world. Stephen Schwartz wrote the songs and lyrics while Winnie Holzman penned the book. The popular Broadway production continues to receive high accolades for its iconic musical numbers – including Defying Gravity, The Wizard and I, No Good Deed and Popular – and stunning set and costume designs.
Wicked won 2004 Tony Awards for Best Actress in a Musical (Menzel), Best Costume Design (Hilferty), and Best Scenic Design (Lee).
