There are many plays that entertain throughout each city’s Broadway run – but no other play gets as much attention or fanfare as Wicked. With enthusiastic patrons attending the show twice, third times or sometimes over a dozen, the Orpheum Theater this year is sure to get a serious boost in income when the Wicked headlines for the 2010-2011 Broadway season. During last summer’s Wicked run at the Orpheum 57,575 people saw the show – selling out 99% of the tickets in its first week. The show was the most successful for the theater in 30 years, and helped to boost the local economy when it brought in a near estimated $7 million for its first run, reports Biz Journals. Now, the show is opening up again with the Broadway season. Here’s the schedule, for those interested in seeing something other than the famous prequel to the Wizard of Oz:
