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 Tour opens at the Peoria Civic Center Theatre this Wednesday October 12, 2011.

The musical “Wicked” is based on the 1995 novel “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West” by children’s writer Gregory Maguire.

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 tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch.

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.
