IF YOU ONLY SEE ONE MUSICAL, MAKE IT THIS ONE!

This musical is fast-paced, gorgeous, full of pathos and humor. Dialogue is superb, songs are breath-taking. Takes the simple old Wizard of Oz to a depth and breadth that I wouldn't have thought possible. It's the WofO for grown-ups. But not just grown-ups. Saw people of all ages in the theater, and everyone was enthralled. If you only see one musical in your lifetime, make it this one! A true gift for the senses.

IN CHICAGO

2008-Chicago-I was speechless and overwhelmed. The character development and how the performers portrayed them was phenomenal! Hoping to see in Omaha (my hometown) this Spring. I would recommend dining outside of the "old market". Parking is expensive and the Orpheum (while gorgeous and newly renovated) is downtown.

FANF*CKINGTASTICAL

This show was absolutely awesome! The songs and voices were beautiful and powerful. Show was funny, costumes were gorgeous, set was magnificent. You do not want to miss this!

5.0 star rating Monica from Cleveland, Ohio

EXCEPTIONAL

This show is remarkable, humorous, and the singing is phenomenal. It was my first musical and it is totally engaging. It allows you to view The Wizard of Oz from the witches point of view and it correlates well with the original story. I would highly recommend this show! It's a must see and I will definately go see it again!

WICKED IN GRAND RAPIDS BREATHTAKING

This was the 5th time I have seen the play with all different casts. All of the performances on November 1st were fabulous!!! Jon Robert Hall was the best Fiero I have ever seen! Always relevant and inspiring. If I lived in GR, I would be at the Wicked Lottery every night!!

AWESOME SHOW, BUT WHAT TIME IS IT ???

Saw the show tonight for the first time and loved it. Elphaba was the bomb! I have to recommend this to all who haven't seen it before. You've got to see it once, though friends returned 8 or 9 times. Now, I have a question for the stage manager at the Aronoff Center. Forgive my absolute nurdity for even noticing, but the prominent clock on stage has written dead center SIDERAL TIME. Why the mispelling? It should be SIDEREAL TIME, though I guess most don't notice because most have no clue what SIDEREAL TIME is. Simply defined, it's a measure of time used by astronomers that is based on the stars, not the sun (as in our 'solar time'). It allows astronomers to better track movements in the sky.

What we thought

Enchanting brilliant TIMELESS

The performance of 'Defying Gravity' at the end of Act I will give you chills.

Almost 13 years after it's debut, you still can't go wrong with Wicked, a perfect adventure for the whole family! Eugene Lee's scenic design coupled with Susan Hilferty's costume artistry will have you engrossed in their magic throughout the production.
