WICKED, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another girl, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.” With a thrilling score that includes the hits “Defying Gravity,” “Popular” and “For Good,” WICKED has been hailed by The New York Times as “the defining musical of the decade.” Time Magazine cheers, “if every musical had the brain, the heart, and the courage of WICKED, Broadway really would be a magical place.” LOCAL DETAILS: Venue: Fox Cities Performing Arts Center – Thrivent Financial Hall Dates: August 30- September 10, 2017 Times: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Saturday 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sunday at 1:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. TICKET INFORMATION: Tickets for Wicked are available now to Season Ticket Holders of the Kimberly-Clark Broadway Across America - Fox Cities Series as an optional add-on.
