Wicked Must Go On!

Even in the midst of a stormy blizzard, the show must go on!  The cast and crew of the production of Wicked in Cleveland proved that weather is no obstacle to them.  Of course Wicked is such a fantastic production that it is reaching new highs in ticket sales across the country.  The total box office figure for “Wicked’s” second visit to Cleveland was $7,361,216. Though most recently a fierce blizzard prevented several ticket holders from attending the play at the Playhouse Square over the most recent weekend.  3,200 were not able to make it to the final performances of Wicked, which was obviously most displeasing to the eager patrons.

Many people had been waiting months to see the production and had paid the big bucks only to not be able to attend because of the snow.  They were all able to get refunds, but of course the main complaint of patrons was that the theatre actually decided to remain open.  Go figure.  In that case, I guess I would be complaining to the weather Gods and not the theater owners, but never mind.  Wicked, although leaving Cleveland will be showing at many other theaters around the country for years to come!  Don’t miss out on the next production and don’t get caught in the snow!  Get your Wicked tickets from Stubhub.com.
