Wicked Reviews

Washington City Paper- Highly Recommended

"...Not a musical theater fan? It speaks volumes that Wicked is one of the only Broadway musicals still out there with an original soundtrack. The industry has tacked toward jukebox musicals that reliably swamp the box office. Of the 22 musicals currently running on Broadway, six predominantly use previously written songs. Still, Wicked is running a North America tour in addition to its Broadway, West End, Australia, and Tokyo runs this year alone. The music is just that popular."

MD Theatre Guide- Highly Recommended

"...The story of “Wicked” continues to resonate in a world that marginalizes those who are different; passes judgment without facts; and ignores the importance of context. When a house falls out of the sky and lands on a wicked witch, it’s difficult not to draw certain conclusions. If “Wicked” teaches us anything, it’s the importance of knowing what went before, and acknowledging that we’re always arriving in the middle of the story."

Theatre Bloom- Highly Recommended

"...Popular! You know it's going to be pop-u-lar! It's the perfect show to see- while you're in DC- it's very, green for the hol-i-daaay. You're simply gonna love it- so don't wait- get your tickets to-daaay! The musical sensation that's sweeping the nation once more, Tony Award-winning Wicked has once again landed in Washington DC at The Kennedy Center, having drifted away in an emerald cloud some six years ago. Directed by Joe Mantello, with Musical Staging by Wayne Cilento, the iconic Stephen Schwartz musical returns in time for the holidays and will welcome the nation's capital into the 2023 new year with its extended stay in The Opera House Theatre at The Kennedy Center."

BroadwayWorld- Highly Recommended

"...It's been 11 years since I saw Wicked for the first time. Watching the latest touring production -- technically, um, wizardly though musically a little uneven -- I was reminded what a confident and complete theatrical creation this Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman blockbuster is."

DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended

"...Overall, my friend’s and my reactions were very similar — Wicked is (still) “thrillifying.” It stands the test of time. If you haven’t seen it, for Oz’s sake, GO! And even if you have, it’s worth another trip to the Emerald City."
