I missed it last time it came through Columbus so I am glad I was able to see it this go around. What can I say? It was great night at the theatre. The story is clever, the special effects are impressive, and the acting was superb. Wicked definitely lives up to the considerable hype.
Cleveland Press Reviews
“The touring cast of “Wicked” undoubtedly makes its original Broadway version predecessors extremely proud, and continues to deliver the kind of entertainment that not only makes for an astoundingly enjoyable evening at the theater, but leaves you forever thinking, and feeling a bit differently than before. And that, my friends, is how musical theater history is made.”

“Wicked is a magical musical full of spectacle and effects. Much of the lighting effects are nothing short of artistic and beautiful, while the visual effects that create the magic in the show are so well executed that it’s near impossible to figure out how a couple of the tricks are done, if you aren’t already aware of them. The choreography of the musical is modern and other-worldly, contributing to the magic of Oz, and the costumes follow suit.”
