Wicked at Gershwin Theatre

Step Into the Land of Oz With Wicked Playing at Gershwin Theatre

So much happened in the land of Oz before Dorothy arrived, and luckily, we have Wicked to share the tale. One of the most acclaimed plays in the history of the Broadway circuit is going to be playing inside Gershwin Theatre on Sunday 31st May 2026. The light and the darkness blend on the stage while some of the iconic tunes that you know and love from this classic echo through the halls of Gershwin Theatre. Before you know it, you're going to be experiencing "Defying Gravity" and "The Wizard and I." This is a performance that was perfectly crafted to be a stage show, and boy, does it prove it!

The Costumes, the Lighting, All Work Together to Make Wicked Majestic

Perhaps one of the reasons why Wicked has been so successful both on Broadway and through these tours is that the story doesn't need a super elaborate stage design or gimmicks. Outstanding lighting and the incredible costume designs, paired with some of the finest performers to hit NYC, have been enough to lead this production to several Tony victories and sold-out shows. Yet, since the story and the look and feel are established at this point, the audience isn't as tied to a specific element in production to experience Wicked. This makes it a fantastic option to see on the road! A perfect example of the opposite is the Tiger animatronic from Life of Pi. That's an impressive feat of design, and it looks amazing when it works, but it's a little harder to take that show on the road. With Wicked, oddly enough, you don't need a lot to see you've set foot in the land of Oz.

Listen to Broadway Experts When Picking Your Seats at Gershwin Theatre

It can be a little tempting to locate a spot on the front row to experience Wicked live, yet people in the know say it's one of the poorer choices to see a show. There's a reason why the rich and famous used to sit in the boxes on the upper levels. Try to find a spot toward the middle of the theater, quite a few rows separated from the stage. Those seats will offer the optimal perspective of the land of Oz and the story unfolding between the witches.
