"The most complete, and completely satisfying, musical I've come across in a long time."
USA Today
Elysa Gardner
"Winnie Holzman's script keeps the gags coming as it cleverly subverts the film that spawned it. Packed with spectacular coups de theatre and magical effects."
The Daily Telegraph
Charles Spencer
"What a spectacle this is! Keep your eye on the witches. These wonderful girls from Oz are a delight."
Newsday
Linda Winer
"Built on songs by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, the show is steeped in talent."
The New York Times
Ben Brantley
""Wizard of Oz" fans will be fascinated by all the back stories, answering such questions as "Is Glinda really that good?" and "Where did the flying monkeys come from?" But the best thing about Wicked is its stars, whose talents cast a poweful spell."
"Absolutely spectacular - from the acting to the choreography, special effects, music, to the costumes. This show will not disappoint! "

Great show
"Absolutely incredible from start to finish. Wicked on Broadway was a breathtaking experience in every possible way. The staging was spectacular, the set design and visual effects were flawless, and the choreography was powerful and perfectly executed by an outstanding cast of dancers. The voices were phenomenal across the board—rich, emotional, and technically stunning.
Glinda was simply impeccable. She was, without question, the highlight of the night. Every note, every gesture, every moment felt effortless and magical. She was born for this role—completely owning the character with charm, precision, and heart. I loved her. Truly unforgettable."
"The performance was incredible! Their voices, acting, the music - EVERYTHING!"

"And the 1st was great so that is saying something. Wonderful evening. Great seats (2nd row center). Two children with us (9 and 12) who were hypnotized. Could NOT have been better!"

Incredibly wicked!
"Miraculous, spontaneous,fun! The beautiful story of Wicked came alive in front of us. Perfection to the smallest details. For the second part it might be handy to read the book or watch the movies( which we did). Thank you wicked cast for a night full of emotions! "

Expectations Exceeded!
"Everything from the singing to the stunts performed in the show was equally captivating and provided a refreshing twist on the Wizard of Oz characters I was used to. A must-see performance! Each cast member added something to the show that thoroughly enhanced the viewing. Allie Trimm wonderfully portrayed Glinda; beautiful voice. Lencia Kebede elevated this performance from 4 to 5 stars! My goodness, her vocals were phenomenal! If the show had ended at "Defying Gravity," I would still have been blown away! But I was glad to get one more dynamic duet by Lencia and Allie!"

From The Midwest with Love
"What an absolutely magical evening! We absolutely loved this play! I would say it wasn't the prettiest Broadway theater we've been to, but the actors were so phenomenal, the theater didn't matter. The lighting, effects, all of it were simply magic. My only recommendation would be for the guy that runs the dragon, to maybe wear black. We spotted you from the Mezz and had no idea what you were up to which was a little distracting. Otherwise, thank you for such a magical experience!"

About
Wicked
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.”
