The national tour of “Wicked” will play at the Saroyan Theatre April 6 -17, 2011, as part of the next Broadway in Fresno season.
The only way for the next few weeks to get Fresno tickets to “Wicked” is to be a renewing season subscriber. On April 16, new season ticket subscriptions go on sale. Individual tickets for “Wicked” will go on sale at a later date.
The 12-day Fresno engagement will be the longest Broadway-tour run in the city in recent memory. In 1993, “Les Miserables” played for eight performances, and returned in 1996 for six shows. Other week-long runs at the Saroyan include “Hairspray” and “The Producers.”
Currently a long-running “sit down” production of “Wicked” is playing at San Francisco’s Orpheum Theatre.
