Wicked at Orpheum Theatre San Francisco

Winnie Holzman and Stephen Schwartz, producers of Wicked, were motivated by the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West".

This show has been PRAISED for its expansion of the backstory of Oz, providing The Wizard of Oz fans around the globe a peek into Glinda and Elphaba (aka the Wicked Witch of the West). WICKED, even with its main characters starting off as enemies, it's a profound tale about friendship and acceptance. With an incredible costume design and impressive special effects, WICKED teleports its audience straight to the wonderful world of Oz!

The production first premiered in 2003, thus it is now 21 years old. Since its first performance, Wicked has surpassed $1 BILLION in box office sales on Broadway.
