Wicked in Toronto

The Wicked Witch of the West has worked her way to Toronto and audiences agree that it’s good to be wicked. 

Not that we’re surprised. 

The Toronto Star gave the Wicked witch a score of four stars out of four and says the show is totally wicked.  “Elphaba and Glinda, those beguiling witches who won Toronto’s hearts last year, have come back for another visit and this time let’s hope they stay through the holidays.” 

In other ‘Wicked’ news, Eden Espinosa played her final performance of the perhaps not-so-wicked-witch Elphaba on October 8.  The former star of Brooklyn is the third actress to dawn green makeup and show us a witch more misunderstood than wicked.  

Now, Ana Gasteyer is back in the role she once played to Tony-winning effect.  Her other appearances, though lacking in green, have been on “Saturday Night Live,” The Threepenny Opera, The Rocky Horror Show, and off-Broadway in The Vagina Monologues. 

Wicked has been delighting audiences.  The show is currently in Toronto, as part of its 14-city tour that will take it next to Providence, Rhode Island.  Fans looking to get their hands on Wicked Tickets are sure to get a delight out of this wicked production.
