About the show
Long before Dorothy drops in, two girls meet at Shiz University: Elphaba, fiercely talented but green-skinned and misunderstood, and Galinda, popular and ambitious. Their unlikely friendship transforms them both — and forever changes how we see the land of Oz. Stephen Schwartz's score and Winnie Holzman's book have made Wicked one of the highest-grossing Broadway musicals in history.
Content advisory: Suitable for ages 8+. Some intense imagery and themes around prejudice and authoritarianism. Recommended for older children, teens, and adults.
