Broadway Across Canada presents WICKED

Long before that girl from Kansas arrives in Munchkinland, two girls meet in the land of Oz. One born with emerald green skin - she's smart, fiery, and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these tow grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good makes for "the most complete and completely satisfying new musical in a long time" (USA Today).

On Broadway and around the world, WICKED has worked its magic on critics and audiences alike. Winner of 35 major awards, including a Grammy and three Tony Awards, WICKED is "Broadway's biggest blockbuster" and 'the defining musical of the decade" (The New York Times)

WICKED comes to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre June 1 - 26, 2011
Pre-sale tickets go on sale from Monday February 28 at 10am - Friday March 4 at 10pm.
