Wicked at Eccles Theater

There's more to Oz before Dorothy's story. Life before Dorothy is part of what you’re going to get to witness at Wicked. This story has become almost as popular as the original, and that’s saying something because who’s never heard of The Wizard of Oz? Jealousy, turmoil and some of the most impressive musical numbers that Broadway has ever witnessed are a part of this story. It’s maybe the stage design, though, that blends everything together. Theater junkies will know that the greatest plays are the ones that are able to transport you into their world from the moment the show starts. Wicked makes sure the audience understands that they are not in Kansas anymore, but, in fact, in the land of OZ.

How the play navigates around the events of the original Wizard of OZ story is incredible. You’re getting a perspective that you would have never imagined, especially from the original children’s book that the successful franchise is based on. The light and the darkness converge with the two witches, and of course, this battle between the two within a complex dynamic is what fuels the Wicked narrative! Definitely, not the kid’s show that the Wizard of OZ intended to be. Crowds couldn’t be more thrilled that this storyline is not afraid to embrace darker themes. At the end of the day this is a story about two witches. They should have their evil sides, even the one that’s closer to the "right path"! The musical that wowed 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 incredible venue to enjoy a show like this. You can be sure that the production team will be able to re-create the World of OZ on this stage and make it palpable to everyone inside the theater. Of course, not every spot in the theater is created equal. As is the case for most of these theater productions, you may be hoping to find a spot toward the middle of the room, a few rows back from the stage. From here, you’ll have the ideal perspective from which to see Wicked. Click that get tickets link now to be a part of the show on Tuesday 6th May 2025. Tickets are starting at only $227!
