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 will be performing until Sunday, October 30, 2011 at Peoria Civic Center Theatre. Buy Wicked Peoria IL Tickets Online, Use Code AFF$10 to Get $10 off on Orders over $350!
