Wicked at Belk Theater

So much happened before Dorothy dropped in! That’s exactly what you’re going to get to see at Wicked. This production has become almost as popular as the original, and that’s saying something because who’s never heard of The Wizard of Oz? Jealousy, turmoil and some of the best musical numbers that Broadway has ever witnessed are a part of this show. It’s perhaps the stage setup, though, that blends everything together. Theater junkies will tell you that the top productions are the ones that are able to transport you into their world from the moment the show starts. Wicked makes sure the audience knows that they are not in Kansas anymore, and they are, actually, in the land of OZ.

How the show portrays the events of the original Wizard of OZ story is a major part of the success. You’re getting a point of view that you would have never considered, especially from the original children’s book that everything is pretty much based on. Where good and bad combine with the two witches, and of course, this battle between them as part of a complex dynamic is what generates the Wicked narrative! It's surely, not the kid’s show that the Wizard of OZ intended to be. Crowds couldn’t be more happy that this adaptation is not afraid to embrace darker themes. After all this is a story about two witches. They should have their darker sides, even the one that’s closer to the "right path"! The story that wowed Broadway for decades is now on tour, and this is your chance to experience it live in Charlotte, North Carolina

The Belk Theatre at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center is an excellent venue to see a show like this. You can guarantee that the production team will be able to re-create the World of OZ on this stage and make it palpable to everyone in the crowd this night. Of course, not every spot in the theater is created equal. As is the case for most of these theater productions, you may be hoping to find a place toward the middle of the venue, a few rows back from the stage. From here, you’ll have the best view from which to witness Wicked. Click that get tickets link today to be a part of the show on Thursday 9th October 2025. Tickets are starting at only $189!
