Wicked Set to Close

The musical production of Wicked is set to close in Chicago after a long run and it will be sadly missed.  However the the tour of this hit musical will continue in various cities throughout the world and it will likely draw in thousands of fans, both from the younger and older generations.  Wicked is of course a prelude to the historic story of the Wizard of Oz.  The new story involves the two witches of Oz, Glinda, the Good Witch and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.  It is an insight into the lives and times of these two characters before Dorothy and her little dog landed in the magical world of Oz.

The show Wicked in Chicago brought in a record $200 million and featured 1,500 shows that played over the course of its long run.  These witches will take their brooms and soon fly off into the sunset.  The musical’s producer David Stone has noted that the show has been a tremendous success in Chicago, even more so than people originally expected.  Be sure not to miss this musical in whichever city it is featured.  Get your own pair of Wicked tickets as soon as possible.
