Show Information

Wicked is a contemporary Broadway musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman. Adapted from Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, the show is also inspired by L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the 1939 MGM film. Wicked first played a pre-Broadway tryout at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco on May 28, 2003, before opening on Broadway at the Gershwin Theatre on October 30, 2003. The original creative team included director Joe Mantello, musical staging and choreography by Wayne Cilento, scenic design by Eugene Lee, and costume design by Susan Hilferty.

The production is a full-length Broadway musical running approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes, including one intermission of about 15 minutes. Wicked is currently running as an open-ended Broadway production at the Gershwin Theatre in New York City, with ongoing North American touring productions, international companies, and sit-down productions worldwide. Its format combines a large-scale musical score, elaborate scenic design, flying effects, intricate costumes, and the instantly recognizable world of Oz.

Wicked won three Tony Awards in 2004, including Best Actress in a Musical for Idina Menzel, Best Scenic Design for Eugene Lee, and Best Costume Design for Susan Hilferty, from 10 nominations that also included Best Musical. The show also won the 2005 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album, six Drama Desk Awards, and Olivier recognition in London, including the Audience Award. It has surpassed 8,000 Broadway performances, grossed more than $5 billion globally across productions, and inspired a two-part feature film adaptation directed by Jon M. Chu, with Wicked released in 2024 and Wicked: For Good following in 2025.

Story Summary

Wicked is set in the Land of Oz before and during Dorothy's arrival, revealing the untold backstory of the witches audiences think they already know. At the center of the story is Elphaba, a green-skinned young woman born with extraordinary powers, and Glinda, the popular and polished student who eventually becomes Glinda the Good. Their relationship begins with sharp differences and unlikely circumstances, then grows into one of the musical's emotional anchors.

The story follows Elphaba as she confronts prejudice, political manipulation, and the cost of standing by the truth. Alongside Glinda, Fiyero, the Wizard, Madame Morrible, Nessarose, and Boq, the musical explores how reputations are created, how power reshapes perception, and how the line between “good” and “wicked” can depend on who is telling the story.

Wicked stands fully on its own; no prior knowledge of Gregory Maguire's novel or The Wizard of Oz is needed to enjoy it. Familiarity with Oz adds extra resonance, but the themes of friendship, self-acceptance, discrimination, ambition, and moral courage land clearly whether you arrive as a longtime fan or a first-time visitor.

Story Highlights

Wicked is packed with signature songs that have become modern Broadway favorites:

• "No One Mourns the Wicked" — The dramatic opening number frames the story with the news of the Witch's death, then pulls the audience backward to uncover the truth behind the legend.
• "The Wizard and I" — Elphaba's soaring “I want” song captures her hope of being accepted, recognized, and celebrated for who she is.
• "Popular" — Glinda's comic showstopper brings charm, timing, and personality to the stage as she attempts to give Elphaba a makeover.
• "Defying Gravity" — The thrilling first-act finale is one of the most iconic moments in modern musical theater, with Elphaba rising above the stage as she embraces her power.
• "For Good" — This emotional second-act duet between Elphaba and Glinda reflects on how their friendship has changed both of them forever.
• "I'm Not That Girl" — Elphaba's tender ballad reveals vulnerability, longing, and the pain of unspoken love.
• "As Long as You're Mine" — This passionate duet between Elphaba and Fiyero gives the second act one of its most intimate and romantic moments.

How Much Do Tickets to Wicked Cost?

Wicked ticket prices vary by seat location, performance date, city, venue, and whether you're looking at the Broadway production, a touring engagement, or another available production.

Wicked ticket prices vary based on venue, city, seat location, date, and performance time. Premium orchestra and front sections are in high demand, while rear and upper-level sections offer excellent value.

Prices often move with demand, especially for weekend performances, holiday periods, popular travel dates, and strong theater markets. Buying earlier generally gives you a wider choice of seats and a better chance at securing the section and price point that fit your plans.

No hidden fees. At Box Office Ticket Sales, the price you see is the price you pay. All fees are shown before checkout — no surprise charges when you reach the final step.

Wicked Seating Guide

Wicked plays major theater venues, including its long-running Broadway home at the Gershwin Theatre and touring theaters in cities across North America. Where you sit can shape how you experience the scale of the sets, the flying effects, the costumes, and the emotional detail of the performances.

Best Seats for Wicked

The best Wicked seats depend on whether you want the closest view of the performers, the broadest view of the staging, or the strongest overall value.

• Best value: Upper mezzanine and rear orchestra sections — These seats can offer a strong view of the full production while keeping you farther from the highest-demand premium orchestra areas.
• Closest to the stage: Front orchestra sections — These seats put you near the performers and can make Elphaba, Glinda, and the major dramatic moments feel especially immediate.
• Best overall experience: Mid-orchestra and front mezzanine sections — These areas often balance proximity with a full-stage perspective, making them popular for fans who want to take in both the performances and the scale of the design.
• For families with young children: Sections with aisle access can make arrival, seating, and the intermission easier to manage. Wicked runs approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes with one intermission, and the show is suitable for ages 8 and up; children under 4 are typically not admitted.
• For groups: Coordinate contiguous seats early, since blocks in popular orchestra and mezzanine sections can sell through quickly for in-demand performances.

Wicked Seating Chart

You can view an interactive seating map for Wicked performances directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections, check row depth and distance from the stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your angle to the stage, your distance from the front, and whether you're in the orchestra, mezzanine, or balcony — so the seats you choose match exactly what you're looking for before the curtain rises.

Getting Ready for Show Night

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation makes the full experience run smoothly from arrival through the final bow.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service around the theater can be congested on busy performance nights. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before heading out so you're ready at the door without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard at most theaters. A portable battery pack is worth having, especially if you're combining the show with dinner or other activities.
• Arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain. Theater doors open well before the show begins; arriving early gives you time to find your seats and settle in before the house lights go down — and avoids the disruption of late seating, which many theaters restrict.
• Plan for the intermission. Wicked includes one intermission of approximately 15 minutes. Lines for concessions and restrooms can build quickly right after the act break, so heading out promptly can make the pause easier.
• Know the venue's phone and photography policy. Photography and video recording are not permitted during the performance, and audiences should silence phones before the show begins.
• For families: Wicked is suitable for ages 8 and up, though some scenes may be intense for very young children. The runtime and intermission are worth keeping in mind when planning snacks, restroom breaks, and arrival timing.
• Build time into your Times Square plan. The Broadway production plays the Gershwin Theatre in the Times Square theater district, an area with heavy tourist traffic year-round and especially during holiday periods.
