Wicked the Musical in Detroit: Show Details
Long before Dorothy’s arrival in the Land of Oz, a smart, fiery, misunderstood, and—green—young woman begins her journey toward learning what it means to possess extraordinary talent. After befriending a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally “popular,” an initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships … until the world decides to call one “good” and the other “wicked.”
With a “thrillify-ing” score that includes hits such as “Defying Gravity,” “Popular,” and “For Good,” Wicked has been hailed by The New York Times as “the defining musical of the decade.” Time Magazine declares Wicked “a magical Broadway musical with brains, heart, and courage,” while NBC Nightly News dubs the hit musical “the most successful Broadway show ever.”
Now the fourth longest-running show in Broadway history, Wicked is the winner of over 100 international awards including a Grammy and three Tonys. Since opening in 2003, Wicked has been performed in over 100 cities in 16 countries around the world (U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, Germany, Holland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, The Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, Switzerland and China) and has been translated into six languages: Japanese, German, Dutch, Spanish, Korean and Portuguese. Wicked has been seen by over 60 million people worldwide and has amassed over $5 billion in global sales.
Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked features music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman. The production is directed by Tony Award winner Joe Mantello with musical staging by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento. Wicked is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Stage Productions, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt, and David Stone.
