“Wicked” Boost for Appleton

Wicked begins its first Wisconsin run in Appleton tomorrow evening. The show is predicted to generate an economic boost for the city, which will definitely be welcome in today’s economic crisis. With the musical on stage for a month Appleton’s restaurant and hotel industries are predicted to make up to an extra several hundred thousand in sales. The tickets for the show sold rapidly and if you want to get tickets seated together, its probably best to get them from StubHub.com, your source for fan-to-fan tickets.

Fans are predicted to spend around $1.60 for every dollar that they spent on the ticket, giving the local economy a step upward for the year. The musical is about a young woman, Elphaba, who grows up to become the Wicked Witch of the West and her friend Glinda, who later becomes Glinda the Good Witch. The story is one that takes the original stories of Oz and stands them on their head, making the musical one that adults can enjoy fully and children still like to see. This is a great musical, so get your Wicked tickets today!
