Wicked” the musical arrives Wednesday at the Peace Center to cast its spell with gravity-defying witches, monkeys, levitating brooms and so much more that it takes 14 trucks to haul it all. The show, whose green heroine, Elphaba, inspires with her profound transformation, oozes green in another way, too. Nationwide, the show earns $1.4 million per week, according to Hollywood trade publication Variety. And it continues to generate income for the local communities where it plays. While total revenue figures for Greenville will come later, for its three-week run here at least nine local musicians will play at all performances.

Currently, tickets are still available for performances on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday nights. Robert Gilbert, Peace Center public relations manager, advises those seeking tickets to call the box office directly rather than going through ticket resellers.

The mega hit’s co-producer David Stone says he’s been in love with “Wicked” since he heard the first reading.

“There’s pure magic on stage,” he says. Its vivid acrobatics enthrall children in the audience. Teen girls flock to it for its story of friendship between two young girls, a bond wrought with hurts and profound implications. And all ages seem to respond to its moral lessons, Stone says. “It wears its heart on its sleeve.”
