Wicked The Musical

Wicked is a fantastic ride and comes alive on stage now. Wicked has been transformed into a Broadway musical by the brilliant Stephen Schwartz, the great and powerful talent behind Pippin, The Magic Show, Godspell, Children of Eden, as well as the lyricist for a few Disney movie musicals (Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame come to mind).

Wicked the musical is not Wicked the novel. While the novel is its source, the musical presents only pieces of it, in a much simplified form, and often diverging wildly from the novel's narrative. One might be tempted to think all this destroys the work; but in the end it improves it, shining a bright light on the story's numerous ironies and interlaced levels of social commentary.

Wicked is a layered piece of drama that uses its musicality as a way to convey some of the deeper issues it sets forth. When Glinda (played to perky perfection by Kristin Chenoweth) floats onstage in her metal bubble, you know you're in for something different. She announces that the Wicked Witch of the West is dead, and the Ozians rejoice -- until one of them asks if Glinda and the Wicked Witch were friends.

Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. Wicked tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch.

Wicked-the Untold Story of the Witches of Oz is a new musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman based on the 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire. The musical is directed by 2003 Tony Award winner Joe Mantello and features musical staging by Wayne Cilento.

About the Wicked Production Tour

Wicked is in San Francisco, CA as an open-ended engagement is scheduled to begin on January 27, 2009 at the Orpheum Theatre. The cast will feature all principal actors who have previously played or understudied their roles. Teal Wicks and Kendra Kassebaum will lead the cast as Elphaba and Glinda. The company will also feature Carol Kane as Madame Morrible, David Garrison as The Wizard, Nicolas Dromard as Fiyero, Deedee Magno as Nessarose, Tom Flynn as Doctor Dillamond, and Eddy Rioseco as Boq.

The 2009 North American Wicked Tour

A second Wicked tour of the United States and Canada is scheduled to begin on March 7, 2009 at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall in Fort Myers, FL.

This tour will play until March 29 Fort Myers, before traveling to Birmingham, Wicked in Jacksonville, Norfolk, Wicked in Indianapolis, Phoenix and Wicked in Memphis. In a statement Wicked producer Marc Platt said, "Theatregoers across North America have embraced Wicked, creating an overwhelming demand for tickets and a wildly successful 1st North American tour. The upcoming launch of this second touring company will allow us to bring Wicked to markets which we have not yet been able to visit, as well as return to cities which have been asking for a second (or third) engagement".

You'll also be able to see Wicked at the Capitol Theatre in Salt Lake City in April and Wicked in San Antonio in June at the Majestic. Both of these shows are limited time engagements.

Regardless of where you see this magical Broadway musical you can count on experiencing a show that holds true to Stephen Schwartz's and Winnie Holzman 's artistic visions. From Drama Desks to Tony's to Grammy's, Wicked has won many awards and the touring production is every bit as good as the show on Broadway.
