Great Reasons to See Wicked!

As we wait for Broadway to fully reopen with many shows now scheduled to reopen as early as September, this is the eighth post in our series, Great Reasons to See... focusing on different shows returning to Broadway or coming to Broadway soon.

Here are some great reasons to see Wicked.

1) It's a different look at a classic tale.

2) At its heart it's the story of a great friendship. 

3) Audiences in New York have been seeing and loving it for over 16 years.

4) Audiences around the country and all over the world have been seeing and loving it for many years as well.

3) It has a great Grammy-winning score that includes such favorites as Popular and Defying Gravity. Its score even made TimeOut New York's list of the Best Original Cast Albums of the 21st Century.

4) It has been nominated for numerous Tony, Drama Desk, and  Outer Critic Circle Awards and won many.

5) Touring productions of the show have also been nominated for numerous awards and won many as have productions in other countries including Australia and Brazil.
