Tulsa’s Soon-to-be Wicked Adventure

Tulsa residents beware - the flying, wicked witch of the west is coming into your city! The Broadway musical “Wicked” is coming into Tulsa this summer, as reported by gtrnews.com, at the Performing Arts Center from July 15 to August 9th. Having captivated audiences around the globe for years, finally Tulsa will get to experience all the joy and retrospective outlooks on the play that is based on Gregory Maguire’s book of the same name. As a prequel to the film “The Wizard of Oz,” the story follows the two central characters that make Oz so spectacular - the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda, the Good Witch. The story brings readers and patrons into a world that few who were supporting Dorothy could have imagined, as the 1995 novel has since sold over 4 million copies and remains on the bestseller list, many thanks to the Broadway show that earned the character of the Wicked Witch of the West, or Elphaba, a Tony Award (played by Idine Menzel). As the second national tour of the play, with eight worldwide productions traveling throughout San Francisco, Australia, London, Japan and Germany, Wicked tickets remain a hot commodity and aren’t easily found, except when searching through StubHub!
