Wicked BIO

Wicked is a Broadway musical that has captivated audiences since its original opening on October 30, 2003, at the Gershwin Theatre in New York City. With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, the show is based on Gregory Maguire's novel "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West." It tells the untold story of the witches of Oz, focusing on Elphaba, the Wicked Witch, and Glinda, the Good Witch. The musical has become one of the longest-running and highest-grossing productions in Broadway history.

The upcoming performance at the Citizens Bank Opera House in Boston on November 4, 2026, is part of its extensive tour that has included multiple US National Tours and international productions. Fans can expect to hear iconic songs such as "Defying Gravity" and "Popular," which have become staples in Broadway music. The live performances are known for their vibrant energy and emotional depth, often leaving audiences with a sense of wonder and inspiration.

Wicked has received numerous accolades, including Tony Award nominations for Best Musical and Best Actress in a Musical. The show's themes of friendship, acceptance, and moral complexity resonate deeply with audiences, particularly within LGBTQ+ communities. The recent film adaptation starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande has further solidified its place in popular culture.
