Wicked at Murat Theatre

Stephen Schwartz & Winnie Holzman, producers of WICKED, were inspired by the 1995 Gregory Maguire story "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West".

This show has been hailed for its expansive backstory of Oz, providing The Wizard of Oz fans around the globe a look into Glinda and Elphaba (aka the Wicked Witch of the West). WICKED, even with its main characters beginning as enemies, it's a powerful tale about friendship and acceptance. With stunning costume design and impressive special effects, Wicked guides its audience direct to the wonderful world of Oz!

The musical originally premiered in 2003, making it 21 years old. Since its first performance, Wicked has surpassed $1 BILLION in box office sales on Broadway. Only The Lion King & The Phantom of the Opera have accomplished this remarkable achievement. WICKED has also dominated theatres outside of Broadway, with achievements in Los Angeles, Chicago, St. Louis, and London.

“Defying Gravity”, “For Good”, and “Popular” are a few of the numerous beloved show tunes that contributed to Wicked receiving a GRAMMY Award.

This undeniable popularity can be attributed to the production's Grammy-winning music. The hit Broadway production also won 3 Tony Awards and 7 Drama Desk Awards.

Currently, Wicked is touring with actors Lauren Samuels as Elphaba, Austen Danielle Bohmer as Glinda, plus Blake Hammond as The Wizard.

There is no place like Murat Theatre at Old National Centre to watch a musical with its phenominal acoustics and friendly ammenities.

If you have friends and family who are fans of the original movie, then Wicked is the PERFECT musical to see! Audiences of all ages will love the musical’s heartfelt themes and powerful messages. Wicked guarantees an incredible experience that will capture the audience’s minds.
