Wicked at ASU Gammage

Students at ASU Gammage are really excited - as “Wicked” is back once again for another round of shows that are sure to please. The performances, which began July 1st and will continue through the 16th, is conducting a lottery drawing just like many other shows two and a half hours before the show time as the ASU Gammage Box office. With twenty orchestra seats avaliable for only $25 each, the perfect amount for all those struggling students. Just before opening night on Wednesday over 30 people shows up anxiously awaiting the lottery draw - according to ABC’s Arizona affiliate 15 Kathryn and Jenny Huisstede, the mother and daughter team, were the first winners - the pair had attempted three previous times to get Wicked tickets four years ago but had never prevailed. Next was father daughter team Todd and Katja Smeltzer who said “We’ll be back to do it again!”

“In this economy, this is the best price around,” said company manager of Wicked Steve Quinn. ASU Gammage is one of the largest university based performing arts centers in the world; localed on the Tempe campus of Arizona State University, the building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and was completed in 1962. It is the home of the M&I Bank Broadway Across America - Arizona series and the ASU Gammage Beyond Series.
