Wicked is the long-running Broadway musical that has told the untold story of Oz's witches continuously at the Gershwin Theatre since October 2003. This is live theatre in its most technically ambitious form -- the production remains built around Elphaba's Act One-closing flight in "Defying Gravity," a sequence staged for a real house rather than a screen, using one of the largest flying-rig setups of any show currently running on Broadway.
Tickets are on sale now for this open-run production, with no closing date in sight. Budget-minded theatergoers have options too: a $55 digital lottery and a $79 in-person military-rate ticket both give access to a show that's been packing the Gershwin for two decades.
For anyone who wants to see the technical spectacle behind the songs -- the rigging, the flight, the scale of it all -- the Gershwin Theatre in New York City is where it's happening, night after night, as it has since 2003.
