Wicked Tickets: The Music of the Witches

Those looking to buy Wicked tickets are looking for tickets to one of the most celebrated shows on both Broadway and the West End. It is based off the book "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" written by Gregory Maguire. The book discusses how life was in Oz before Dorothy came to town. Both the book and the musical take on the viewpoint of the Witches of Oz: Elphaba, future Wicked Witch of the West and Galinda or Glinda, future Good Witch of the North.

The story revolves around how their friendship struggles and endures through their inherent differences, how they view the government of Oz and of course, how they deal with each other due to the circumstances that lead to Elphaba's fall from grace. It essentially fleshes out the world of Oz and sets up the characters for where they will eventually be once Dorothy flies onto the scene.

It first premiered in October 2003 at the Gershwin Theatre and first starred the wonderful duo of Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth as Elphaba and Glinda, respectively. Despite being initially panned by The New York Times, it has since grown into a favourite among the general public. The New York Times could not stop the music as it grew into sensation, spawning productions around the United States and the world. The West End and Japan are only two places that have held productions of Wicked.

In the west end, the role of Elphaba would be reprised by the fabulous Idina Menzel but the role of Galinda/Glinda would be given to Helen Dallimore.

Those looking for Wicked tickets are probably doing so because of its many awards. In 2004, it managed a whopping ten Tony Awards, with a nomination for best actress coming in for Idina Menzel. It was also honoured with six Drama Desk Awards. It has two acts.

It is currently the seventeenth longest running Broadway show. In Broadway, it has been in production since 2003 and remains one of the most profitable products, consistently grossing over a million dollars a week.

It first arrived in London's West End in 2006 and continues to be in production to this day. It first premiered in the Apollo Victoria Theatre. It was changed ever-so-slightly to become more palatable for a British audience. Sadly, Idina Menzel would only stay on for three months before being replaced by Kerry Ellis. Kerry would later on move to the Broadway production of Wicked. The West End production has won awards of its own, from an Olivier Audience Award for Most popular show and won "Best West End Show" two years in a row.

Wicked remains one of the most beloved musicals still in production.
