Cleveland’s ‘Wicked’ Return

As part of the US Bank Star Performance Series, ‘Wikced’ is pulling out all the stops for the Cleveland area - returning to the stage at the Playhouse Square for the third time, November 18th through December 13th. The show, written by Stephen Schwartz, is currently directed by two time Tony Award winner Joe Mantello, from “Take Me Out,” “The Vagina Monologues” and “9 to 5″ and includes musical staging by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento. The story is based on the 1995 novel of the same name by Gregory Maguire and has won 20 major awards - Grammy’s, Tony Awards and more.

The show at the State Theater at Playhouse Square is running Tuesday through Friday at 8pm, Saturdays at 2 and 8pm and Sundays at 1 and 6:30pm. November 19th has a special 2pm matinée and performances will not run on Thanksgiving Day, November 26th. If you want to see this award winning night, then you are not going to want to miss out.

A special evening for teens will be hosted by the Playhouse Square Comunity Engagement and Education Department. Following the December 5th performance, the Playhouse community is hosting a Teen Night where teens, ages 14 to 19 can enjoy pizza, a DJ, karaoke and an opportunity to meet members of the cast.
