Wicked at Eccles Theater

There's more to Oz before Dorothy's story. That’s exactly what you’re going to get to see at Wicked. This musical has become almost as well known as the original, and that’s saying something because who’s never heard of The Wizard of Oz? Jealousy, turmoil and some of the best musical numbers that Broadway has ever witnessed are a part of this musical. It’s actually the stage design, though, that wraps everything together. Theater junkies will know that the best plays are the ones that are able to transport you into their world from the moment the show starts. Wicked makes sure the crowd knows that they are not in Kansas anymore, and they are, in fact, in the land of OZ.

How the story navigates around the events of the original Wizard of OZ story is incredible. You’re getting a point of view that you would have never expected, especially from the original children’s book that everything is pretty much based on. Where good and bad are represented with the two witches, and of course, this battle between the two as part of a complex dynamic is what generates the Wicked narrative! Definitely, not the kid’s show that the Wizard of OZ intended to be. Audiences couldn’t be more thrilled that this adaptation is not afraid to focus on darker themes. At the end of the day this is a story about two witches. They gotta have their evil sides, even the one that’s closer to the "right path"! The musical that took over Broadway for years is now on the road, and this is your chance to experience it live in Salt Lake City, Utah

The George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Theater is an ideal venue to see a show like this. You can guarantee that the production team will be able to craft the World of OZ on this stage and make it palpable to everyone in the crowd this night. Naturally, not all seats are created equal. As is the case for most of these theatrical productions, you may be trying to find a spot toward the middle of the venue, a few rows back from the stage. From here, you’ll have the best perspective from which to see Wicked. Click the get tickets link soon to be a part of the fun on Tuesday 29th April 2025. Tickets are starting at only $201!
