WICKED Will Defy Gravity at Times-Union Center Fall 2019

What's the most swankified place in town Nov. 20 through Dec. 1, 2019? That would be the Times-Union Center because the national tour of Wicked is back in the sunshine state!

Winner of over 50 major awards including the Grammy Award and three Tony Awards, Wicked is the untold story of the witches of Oz. Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the land of Oz.
