Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

Wicked is more than just a musical nor is it your average fairy tale; it's an enchanting reimagining of The Wizard of Oz that delves into the lives of the witches of the West in a witty, heartwarming, and sometimes heartbreaking production that explores of friendship, love, and the power of individuality. The story follows the unlikely friendship between Elphaba, the misunderstood green-skinned witch, and Glinda, the bubbly blonde, as they navigate the complexities of Oz and challenge societal norms to discover the true meaning of good and evil. One of the longest-running shows on Broadway, this production is timeless.

"This musical prequel to The Wizard of Oz addresses surprisingly complex themes, such as standards of beauty, morality and, believe it or not, fighting fascism."

"This is the most complete, and completely satisfying, new musical I've come across in a long time."

Molly Marinik and Dan Dinero,

"This musical is full of glitz and is a big Broadway spectacular; it is also a charming story with a wonderfully catchy score. 'Wicked' is satisfying in a sparkly way, and also in a storytelling way."

MJ The Musical

Experience
Blaž Dumančić
I can say just one thing — King MJ is still alive thanks to this show. Such great actors, choreography, plot... everything. During the show, I couldn’t take my eyes off DeAundre Woods’s legs and his moonwalk. I recommend this show to everyone visiting NYC and Broadway. As for purchasing tickets, it’s quite easy and well explained.

Aladdin

Experience
FUMI SAITO
以下が自然で気持ちのこもった英訳です: I came from Japan to see this musical, and it truly moved me. Not only the three main cast members, but every performer was absolutely wonderful. The staging was excellent as well, and as a Disney animation fan, I was amazed at how faithfully the world of the film was brought to life on stage. I’m truly happy that I was able to see this production on my trip.
