Wicked will open at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center Wednesday, April 18 for a two-week run.
For the North Charleston Coliseum and Performing Arts Center, the Broadway musical’s 16-show run is by far the largest in the venue’s 13-year history, and it’s projected to be the highest-grossing show as well. One of the most successful Broadway musicals of all time, the show has taken its sweet time before finally landing that broom in the Lowcountry.
“The premiere engagement of Wicked is one of the most anticipated shows in the Performing Arts Center’s history,” said PAC General Manager Dave Holscher. “It’s been one of the most requested shows from our Best of Broadway season ticket holders, and we are excited to have it finally come to North Charleston.”
The show’s 16 performances is unprecedented for the Best of Broadway series — a testament to Wicked’s appeal.
“We’re thrilled to have the biggest show in Broadway history coming to the North Charleston Performing Arts Center,” said North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey.
wicked Musical show, based on Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel which in turn was based on Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, has developed into a full-fledged cultural phenomenon since opening on Broadway in 2003. You’ll still struggle to snag tickets for the Broadway show today, and there are national and international tours of the production as well. Numerous actresses have taken on the starring roles of Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West) and Glinda since Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth set the bar nearly a decade ago; Charleston audiences will see Anne Brummel and Tiffany Haas filling the roles.
