Wicked Anniversary

The hit Broadway musical Wicked will be celebrating its fifth anniversary at the Gershwin Theater in New York City, on October 30. On Monday, October 27, 2008, the Empire State Building will be shining green from 12 in the afternoon until midnight in honor of the occasion. The lighting ceremony will include New York’s Elphaba, Kerry Ellis, and Stephen Schwartz who composed the music and wrote the lyrics for Wicked.

The musical has been called “Broadway’s Biggest Blockbuster” by the New York Times, and is now an international phenomenon, reaching as far as Japan. This musical charts out the untold stories of Glinda and Elphaba, the witches of Oz, and their years as teenagers through adulthood. The musical shows how both characters became the women that we first heard about in The Wizard of Oz, putting a very different spin on the story than what we might previously have heard.

Wicked Tickets are your passport to the world of Oz,and will usher you in to a magical world that is a little different than you might remember it from childhood. This is a great musical to attend this halloween, so be sure to get your Wicked Tickets today!
