A Wicked Burglary Weekend

It seems that not even magical powers can keep “Wicked” castmembers safe when it comes to burglars. While performing at the Century II in Wichita, Kansas, several “Wicked” cast members were burglarized. Police are currently searching for the culprit, reports KSN.com.

Apparently the culprits really knew when to strike, and when it would hurt the most. The crime happened during the first weekend of the musical’s touring show in Kansas, police noting that the thieves were in the dressing room area once the cast left for the night. Several personal items were stolen, including a laptop, camera, MP3 player, leather jacket and shoes. The total amount reportedly lost comes out to be around $1,500.

“It’s quite possible that that area could be accessible to people walking off the street, it just depends on the security, the level of security at that time,” Lt. Mike Hennessy said from the Wichita Police Department. Police believe that Century II security and staff as well as the musical’s cast and crew have been around the Century II building 24 hours a day, yet it was unknown whether the dressing room was constantly locked. Though clearly some of the cast members are upset about the events, they are all professionals and still plan on putting on a great show.
