Wicked at Belk Theater

It’s no easy feat for a musical to descend upon Broadway and scoop up three Tony Awards, seven Drama Desk Awards, and a Grammy Award for the original cast album, but Wicked has. No musical just knocks box office records out of the ballpark, while joining The Phantom of The Opera and The Lion King atop the list of productions that grossed over $1 billion, and later surpassing The Phantom of The Opera, becoming the world’s second-highest selling musical, but Wicked’s done it. It’s pretty fair to say that Wicked simply keeps defying gravity.

The truth is that Wicked has everything any musical-lover could ever dream of. The fascinating story, based upon L. Frank Baum's classic novel, ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’, follows the story of two very unlikely friends and their journey of becoming the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good. With a deep exploration of the complex friendship between conflicting personalities, contrasting outlooks, and a shared love interest, and the deeper social commentary on the corrupt rule of the Wizard of Oz threatening a seemingly perfect world, everybody and anybody is bound to be wowed by the smart storytelling, quippy theatrics, captivating characters, and, of course, composer Stephen Schwartz’s tight rhymes and beautiful melodies.

The fact is that the audience will be left dumbstruck|an entire audience will leave the Belk Theatre at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center, feeling that saying that it was nice, Wicked leaves even the most vocal person at a loss for words, and the biggest critic totally ‘bewitched’.
