Wicked at Orpheum Theatre San Francisco

Winnie Holzman and Stephen Schwartz, creators of WICKED, were inspired by the 1995 Gregory Maguire story "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West".

This production has been hailed for its expansive story of Oz, giving The Wizard of Oz fans around the globe a peek into Glinda and Elphaba (aka the Wicked Witch of the West). Wicked, even with the main characters starting off as enemies, it's a powerful journey about acceptance and friendship. With stunning costume creation and jaw-dropping special effects, WICKED guides its audience direct to the wonderful land of Oz!

The show first premiered in 2003, making it 21 years old. Since its first performance, Wicked has gone on to surpass $1 BILLION in box office sales on Broadway. Only The Lion King and The Phantom of the Opera have managed this incredible achievement. Wicked has also graced theaters outside of Broadway, with achievements in Los Angeles, San Fransisco, Miami, and London.

“Defying Gravity”, “For Good”, and “Popular” are a few of the numerous famous songs that contributed to Wicked receiving a GRAMMY Award.

This undeniable success can be attributed to the show's Grammy-winning show tunes. The spectacular Broadway production also recieved 3 Tony Awards and 7 Drama Desk Awards.

Currently, Wicked is touring with a cast of Lauren Samuels as Elphaba, Austen Danielle Bohmer as Glinda and Blake Hammond as The Wizard.
