Wicked (Broadway)

222 West 51st Street · New York, NY

Why you should go…

Wicked reimagines the Land of Oz through the friendship of Elphaba and Glinda before Dorothy ever arrives. Running continuously since 2003 at the Gershwin Theatre, it is one of the highest-grossing musicals in Broadway history. The story was adapted into a two-part feature film released in 2024 and 2025.

Good to know

General theatre & events guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Curtain time is firm

    Latecomers are commonly held at the back until a scene break, so build in a buffer.

  • Study the seating chart

    Price and sightline vary a lot within the same house. A few rows back can be the better seat.

  • Rush and lottery seats exist

    Many venues release same-day tickets at a discount if you are flexible about where you sit.

  • Arrive with time to spare

    Parking, bag check, and finding your row all take longer than you think on a full house.
