Wicked at Eccles Theater

There's more to Oz before Dorothy's story. That’s exactly what you’re going to get to experience at Wicked. This story has become almost as well known as the original, and that’s saying a lot 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 production. It’s perhaps the stage setup, though, that brings everything together. Theater junkies will tell you that the greatest productions are the ones that are able to transport you into their world from the moment the curtains open up. 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 show showcases the events of the original Wizard of OZ story is a major part of the success. You’re getting a point of view that you would have never considered, especially from the original children’s book that everything is pretty much based on. The light and the darkness combine by the two witches, and of course, this battle between the two within a complex relationship is what generates 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 tackle darker themes. After all this is a story about two witches. They should have their sketchy sides, even the one that’s closer to the light! The musical that wowed Broadway for decades is now on tour, and this is your chance to catch it live in Salt Lake City, Utah

The George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Theater is an ideal place to enjoy a show like this. You can bet that the production team will be able to craft the World of OZ on this stage and make it visible to everyone in the crowd this night. Naturally, not all seats are created equal. As is the case for most of these musical productions, you may be better off finding a spot toward the middle of the room, a few rows back from the stage. From here, you’ll have the perfect perspective from which to witness Wicked. Hit that get tickets link soon to be a part of the fun on Sunday 4th May 2025. Tickets are starting at only $189!
