Wicked
at Landmark Theatre
362 S. Salina Street (map)
Through Sunday, March 27
This weekend is your last chance to see the Broadway sensation Wicked at the Landmark Theatre!
If you're not familiar with the story, the plot follows what happened in the Land of Oz, from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another girl, born with emerald-green skin, who is smart, fiery, misunderstood and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships... until the world decides to call one "good," and the other one "wicked."
With a thrilling score that includes the hits "Defying Gravity," "Popular" and "For Good," WICKED has been hailed by The New York Times as "the defining musical of the decade."
Deal Alert!
A day-of-performance lottery for a limited number of orchestra seats will be held for each show.
Two-and-one-half hours prior to each performance, people may come to the Landmark Theatre and place their names in a lottery drum; 30 minutes later, names will be drawn for a limited number of orchestra seats at $25 each, cash only. Please note, this lottery is available only in-person at the box office, with a limit of two tickets per person.
