Buffalo Gets Wicked

The multiple Tony Award-winning Wicked is set to open in Buffalo from June 18 to July 13. The shows will be held at Shea’s Performing Arts Center, a venue accustomed to touring Broadway shows. Shea’s polls its patrons at least once a year, making the decision on what shows to have easier, and fans are more than satisfied with the outcome. Tickets have been selling hot since they became available in April. The touring Wicked is in addition to the set shows in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, although the Chicago show is set to close. In New York, the production is nearing the 2,000 show mark.

It is only natural that one of the biggest hits on Broadway should make a stop in Buffalo, the second largest city in New York. Wicked is in good company as Shea’s has lined up other big names to follow like Mamma Mia!, The Color Purple and A Chorus Line. The show has both evening shows and matinées, but don’t wait until they sell out. According to the Niagara Gazette article, even people who have already seen the show in New York are clamoring for Buffalo tickets. Anyone near Buffalo should get Wicked tickets today from StubHub.com.
