Wicked currently runs on Broadway, in London, Chicago, Los Angeles and on national tour. Productions in Australia, Japan and Germany are in the works.

Wicked has been sold out at virtually every performance on Broadway, since having its official opening at the Gershwin Theatre on October 30, 2003.  The show is based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, the show has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman.  Directed by Joe Mantello, with musical staging by Wayne Cilento.

"Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the land of Oz.  One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood.  The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular.  Wicked tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch," state press notes.

The Wicked tour stars Victoria Matlock as Elphaba, Christina DeCicco as Glinda, Barbara Tirrell as Madame Morrible, P.J. Benjamin as The Wizard, Cliffton Hall as Fiyero, Tom Flynn as Dr. Dillamond, Deedee Magno Hall as Nessarose and Josh Lamon as Boq.
