Wicked Takes the Stage
Wicked is one of the defining musicals of the modern Broadway era. Based on Gregory Maguire's bestselling novel and featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, the show reimagines the story of Oz through the eyes of Elphaba, the misunderstood Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the Good Witch — telling the untold story of their unlikely friendship before Dorothy ever arrived. Since its Broadway debut in 2003, Wicked has become a global phenomenon, running for over two decades on Broadway and spawning productions on every continent.
The national touring production brings the full spectacle of the Broadway experience to cities across the country, and Atlanta is one of the fortunate stops. From the iconic opening number to the soaring power of "Defying Gravity," the show delivers some of the most memorable moments in contemporary musical theatre. The production features elaborate costumes, show-stopping set design, and vocal performances that consistently leave audiences on their feet.

This is not simply a returning classic — it is a cultural event with renewed energy and a massive new generation of fans discovering the story for the first time.
