Wicked Success

Wicked the musical has become successful not because of any huge hype, but because it does in fact connect with audiences on a deeper level. No matter what period or walk of life you come from, there is something for just about everyone in Wicked. The musical appeals to younger generations in its incredible set design and the characters of the young Elphaba and Galinda, who are both challenged to grow in order to reach a mutual friendship. For adults there is the political intrigue, the deeper story of morality that shows how things that appear one way on the surface, are often very different when you are inside the situation.

The stories that have unfolded around Oz seem to be somewhat like the unpeeling of an onion. With each layer you get a little deeper inside until you find yourself in a place that is very different than where you began, though it is still the same place. If the story of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is the outer layer, then Wicked is several layers deeper. The question that remains is what will we find at the deepest layer of Oz? Come and see the musical that has taken our beloved story to a deeper level. Go to StubHub and get your Wicked tickets today!
