Wicked one High-Grossing Musical!

Wicked, that smash hit musical from the partnership of Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, based on the book by Gregory Maguire which was itself an adapted prequel to the Frank L. Baum classic, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” is one of those musicals that no one can get enough of. With a soundtrack that any composer would be proud to call their own, a number of Tony’s to the shows’ credit and a fan-base that is nothing short of spectacular, this musical telling the tale of the two childhood friends who would grow to become Glinda the Good Witch and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, is one of those shows that you simply must see for yourself.

Last week alone, for the week ending on July 15, 2007, Wicked was the highest grossing musical on the Great White Way, pulling in $1,468,400 in that week alone, with the capacity of the theater 100% filled. This is indeed a great feat and should serve as a reminder of just how popular Wicked is, spurring patrons who have never seen the show to get into line with those who attend shows on a weekly basis.
