Minneapolis sure keeps up on what’s hot on Broadway. When tickets went on sale for the Wicked production there, ticket hopefuls lined up as early as 2 a.m. to secure a spot. The tickets went on sale at 8 a.m. on Thursday and people were clamoring for a chance at them. The last time the Tony Award-winning musical made a stop here, the tickets told out in a mere three hours. As WCCO reports, some patrons in line were coming back to see the show for the second time while others were first-timers. The way theater-goers rage about the show, it is no wonder it is such a hot ticket. WCCO quotes one fan as saying, “The ending is so fabulous. You won’t believe it. You’ll go, that’s the rest of the story!”
Wicked is set in the land of Oz before the Wizard of OZ movie begins. None of the witches are yet good or wicked, and both Glinda and Elphaba (eventually the Wicked Witch) are attending magic school. The story makes audience members understand the motivation behind Elphaba’s actions and why she became the witch she is in the Wizard of Oz. Although the tickets are tough to get, you can get your Wicked tickets from StubHub.com.
