Wicked tickets have been available on Broadway since the show opened way back in 2003. Wicked the Musical has been the highest grossing Broadway show since then, regularly landing at the top of the Broadway box office, even in 2011. Wicked tickets have sold in such great number that the show has become just the third musical in Broadway history to surpass $500 million and ranks 10th all time. The musical has plenty of momentum behind it and will continue to climb up that list as the show continues to sell out, so come to OnlineSeats.com and search for the Wicked tickets to see this celebrated production in person at the Gershwin Theatre.
Wicked tickets are not just sold on Broadway. The production has become an international and touring hit. Wicked the Musical made the natural transition to the West End in England in 2006 and has since played on every single inhabitable continent but Africa. There are actually two touring productions of Wicked running concurrently in North America. The success of the first so surprised the producers that they brought the musical back to Chicago for an extended run from 2005 to 2009 and then kicked off another national tour in 2009.
Wicked the Musical began as a novel. Gregory Maguire wrote Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West in 1995. The novel was a revisionist take on the Land of Oz and the demonization of the Wicked Witch, whose original name was Elphaba. Stephen Schwartz picked the book up in 1995 and instantly imagined a Broadway adaptation. He met with Maguire three years later and obtained the right to release a stage production of Wicked. Schwartz tapped Winnie Holzman, an Emmy Award winning writer, to adapt the book for the stage, developing a more family friendly take on the rather violent and sexually explicit novel.
