WICKED Presented by Broadway In Boston
About
WICKED, the Broadway musical about the witches of Oz, returns to Boston in a touring run presented by Broadway In Boston at the Citizens Opera House in the Theatre District. The show tells the story of Elphaba, a young woman born with emerald-green skin, and the popular Glinda, whose rivalry turns into an unlikely friendship before the world labels one good and the other wicked. It is aimed at longtime fans and first-time theatergoers alike.
Based on Gregory Maguire’s novel, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, WICKED opened on Broadway in 2003 and became one of the biggest blockbusters in the genre. Broadway In Boston, which presents touring Broadway productions in the city, brings it back for a fall engagement as part of its larger season. Destination Salem promotes the run as a way to spend the day in Salem and finish the evening at a show in Boston.
