Wicked BIO

Wicked is a Broadway musical that has captivated audiences since its original opening on October 30, 2003, at the Gershwin Theatre. With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, the show is based on Gregory Maguire's novel "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West." It tells the untold story of the witches of Oz, focusing on Elphaba, the Wicked Witch, and Glinda, the Good Witch. This production has become one of the longest-running and highest-grossing musicals in Broadway history.

The upcoming performance at the Citizens Bank Opera House in Boston on November 4, 2026, is part of its extensive tour that has included multiple US National Tours and international productions. The show features iconic songs such as "Defying Gravity" and "Popular," which have become staples in musical theatre. Audiences can expect a vibrant live performance atmosphere, with standing ovations often occurring during key musical numbers.

Wicked has received numerous accolades, including Tony Award nominations for Best Musical and Best Actress in a Musical. The recent film adaptation starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande has reignited interest in this beloved story.
