The successful Broadway musical, Wicked returns to Tennessee Performing Arts Center – Andrew Jackson Hall on October 19, 2011. Wicked musical shows at Nashville, TN Continues Mondays-Sundays through November 06, 2011.

Wicked Musical broke box office records and sold out in record time when it first played Nashville in 2009. The 2009 touring production was technically fantastic, with wonderful performers throughout the cast — especially Marcie Dodd, whose Elphaba soared (“Defying Gravity”), and Helene Yorke, whose Glinda was equally good (“Popular”). Dodd has continued to tour with the show, but Music City gets new principals this time around — Anne Brummel and Tiffany Haas. But with such a strong book by Winnie Holzman, and with Stephen Schwartz’s exciting score, there’s little chance local audiences would ever be disappointed. For the uninitiated, you’ll be getting cued in to what happened in Oz long before Dorothy rode in on the twister from Kansas.

“Wicked,” which broke Fox Theatre box office records three times, will be back for the holiday season next year 2012.

Wicked musical show will open at the Fox Theatre on December 12, 2012, and run through January 6, 2013.

It will be the fourth time the musical has played the Fox, and the first time that it will not be part of the Broadway subscription series. That means more seats will be available for nonsubscribers. Subscribers, however, will have priority for ticket sales, before the general ticket sale.

A twist on “The Wizard of Oz” that tells the story from the viewpoint of the misunderstood green girl who comes to be known as the Wicked Witch of the West, “Wicked” is based on a novel by Gregory Maguire. Stephen Schwartz wrote the songs, which include “Popular” and “Defying Gravity.”

“We are thrilled that St. Louis can ring in the 2012 holidays with ‘Wicked,'” said Fox producer Kristin Caskey, calling the show “the preeminent American musical.” Still running on Broadway after eight years, seven companies are staging “Wicked” around the world.

Wicked is currently performing at Landmark Theater VA and play through Sunday, October 16, 2011.

Here is the smart review by Liz Jewett {Via Richmond.com}

“Wicked” takes the audience in reverse, back to the school days of Glinda and the Wicked Witch, or Elphaba as she was known then. The popular, blonde Glindaand outcast, green Elphaba meet, compete for the chance to meet the all-powerful and wonderful wizard, and most surprisingly of all, become friends. The backdrop to all of this is an Oz in danger of losing all of the color and diversity (and talking animals) that make it magical in the first place.

A lot of Broadway musicals have the lights, the sparkle, and the show-stopping numbers, but very little underneath. It’s easy to create the big, loud experience of a musical, but it’s a lot harder to create the heartbeat underneath it. “Wicked” will blow you away technically and that might be what you talk about when you leave the Landmark Theater VA.

Wicked is all about the green witch, Elphaba, the good witch Glinda, and how they meet and why she becomes the wicked witch of the west and it’s about their friendship. So it’s a really great story about friendship and judging people by the colour of their skin since she’s green.

Wicked Day is back for its sixth year of family Halloween-inspired fun later this month, with a jam packed schedule of face-painting, storytelling and magic.

The annual free event, which takes place on 30 October, is organised by the hit musical Wicked in aid of a chosen environmental cause. Funds raised on the day will be donated to The Woodland Trust’s Heartwood Forest Appeal for the second year running. This year’s Wicked Day event will take place between 12 noon and 4pm on Sunday 30 October at the London Film Museum, County Hall, situated on the South Bank and overlooked by the iconic London Eye. 2011’s Wicked Day will feature a host of Wicked and Halloween-themed events based around the Shiz University Class of 2011.

Suitable for families and children of all ages, Wicked-lovers can enjoy monkey workshops, a storytelling classroom in association with Wicked’s Young Writers’ Award, Shiz karaoke, an interactive Shiz playground area, plus magicians and appearances from the cast.

Those looking to be really green can even have their faces painted or experience what it’s like to be a witch, good or bad, with Galinda-fying parlours.

Wicked’s Executive Producer, Michael McCabe, said: “We are very proud to continue our tree-planting partnership with The Woodland Trust, and using the production’s ‘green’ theme to engage, encourage and enable young people to interact with the natural environment both on their doorsteps and outside of London at Heartwood Forest. Wicked is a show founded upon the notion of taking responsibility for your own actions, and the simple act of planting trees is the perfect way to communicate this message in all that it has come to symbolise in today’s society.”

Wicked has been playing at the Apollo Victoria theatre since 2006 and tells the untold story of the witches of Oz. Two girls – one green and misunderstood, the other blonde and bubbly – meet at the Shiz University and form an unlikely friendship. As life takes them on different paths, we learn exactly how one became good and the other wicked.

The Tony and Grammy Award-winning musical Wicked will hit Tennessee Performing Arts Center October 19 to November 06.

Entertainment Weekly calls Wicked “the best musical of the decade,” and when it first played Nashville in 2009, it broke box office records and sold out in record time. Winner of 35 major awards, including a Grammy and three Tony Awards, Wicked is Broadway’s biggest blockbuster, a cultural phenomenon and was just named “the defining musical of the decade” by The New York Times.

Long before that girl from Kansas arrives in Munchkinland, two girls meet in the land of Oz. One – born with emerald green skin – is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for “the most complete and completely satisfying new musical in a long time” (USA Today).

The Nashville engagement of Wicked will run through November 06 at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. Buy Wicked Nashville TN Tickets Online.
