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."

Filled my childhood dream to go to Empire State Building as first I saw the building was in Superman from 70s. This first trip to New York as was my 50th on the 19th of March few days before seeing Empire State Building coming the UK. Very Happy 50th year old. 😀

Madama Butterfly

Experience
Maria Francisca Sanz Valero
One of the best operas I've ever heard. And not just musically—the set design and costumes really made an impression on us. The Met is one of the world's finest opera houses. I recommend arriving early to enjoy the spectacle of the audience's attire: it felt like we were at the Oscars.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

Experience
Julia Kiefl-Spitzer
Everything about this play was unforgettable. The theater is breathtaking. The energy of others being able to see the play as well fills the room. Seeing the decorations they set out for guests to interact with were amazing. The play itself was magical and incredible. Even my husband was in awe with how they managed to do some of the things for it. We absolutely would go back to watch it again. The best part was being able to go while Tom Felton was acting as Draco once more. Then getting to see him exit the theater and ask for his autograph was the cherry on top!

Wicked

Experience
Brandee Lake
I had a fantastic experience using Headout to book tickets for Wicked on Broadway. The app made it easy to find exactly what I was looking for, and the booking process was completely seamless. The real highlight? I scored incredible orchestra seats near the front just two days before the show. The view was perfect, and the value for the price was unbeatable. Smooth, reliable, and great last-minute options—I’ll definitely be using Headout again.

Death Becomes Her

Experience
Gary Daniel Wadkins
I was curious to see how they were going to adapt the movie, and wondered if the dark humor would be glossed over. It didn't take long to have those concerns addressed and taken away! This is a funny show. The acting is excellent and the songs are very well done. We enjoyed every single minute. Bravo to the cast and crew! A+

Amazing experience! The show is incredible, the atmosphere on stage spilled into the seats. There were a few changes in the cast which took nothing away from the quality.
