For Las Vegas residents, the Strip is always filled with extraordinary shows, imaginations and wild audiences - which makes it a strange occurance that Wicked hasn’t, nor probably will never, hit the Las Vegas Striop. So the closest any fan can come to seeing and enjoying the show is San Francisco, its current and first home, but it is worth the trip. The Orpheum Theatre is showing the Broadway production and three time Tony Award winning feature throughout the month with Wicked ticket prices the highest at $99 (prices that any Las Vegas show worth seeing begin at) and flight time that requires less effort than the show’s time.
The story is easily approacable, as families around the world are familiar with ‘The Wizard of Oz’ made famous by Judy Garland. The story follows the witches that first meet Dorothy on her trip home, as characters Glinda the Good Witch and Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West are paired up during witching boarding school. The script is written by Winnie Holzman, author and creator of the television series “My So Called Life,” and devliers wit and entertainment that delves far beyond just the standard political assumptions. So make sure that you enjoy this adventure and make a weekend trip out of it, for those stuck in Sin City.
