Wicked Tickets 2027 - See the Hit Musical Live!

The beloved Broadway phenomenon Wicked continues to defy gravity in 2027 with a massive national tour hitting theaters across the country. Based on Gregory Maguires bestselling novel, this Tony Award-winning musical tells the untold story of the witches of Oz -- exploring the unlikely friendship between Glinda the Good and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, long before Dorothy dropped in. With a score by Stephen Schwartz that includes showstoppers like "Defying Gravity" and "Popular," Wicked has captivated over 65 million people worldwide since its 2003 Broadway premiere.

The 2027 touring production brings the full Broadway experience to cities including Cleveland, Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta, San Antonio, and Columbus, with multi-week engagements at major performing arts centers. Each stop features the spectacular sets, stunning costumes, and jaw-dropping special effects that have made Wicked one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history. The blockbuster film adaptation starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande has introduced a whole new generation of fans to the story, making demand for live theater tickets higher than ever.

Whether you are a longtime fan or discovering the magic of Oz for the first time, seeing Wicked live on stage is an experience you will not forget. Check the listings below to find a performance near you and grab your seats through BigStub before the best dates sell out.

The Story Behind the Curtain

Wicked premiered on Broadway at the Gershwin Theatre on October 30, 2003, and has been a cultural juggernaut ever since. The musical reimagines L. Frank Baums classic world of Oz through the eyes of two young women at Shiz University -- the misunderstood, green-skinned Elphaba and the bubbly, ambitious Galinda (later Glinda). Their complex friendship, rivalry, and parallel journeys form the emotional core of a show that explores themes of identity, power, and what it truly means to be "wicked."

Stephen Schwartz crafted a score that ranges from soaring power ballads to witty comedy numbers. "Defying Gravity," the Act One finale, has become one of the most iconic moments in modern musical theater -- the image of Elphaba rising above the stage as the orchestra swells is the kind of goosebump moment that keeps audiences coming back. Other fan favorites include "Popular," "For Good," "No Good Deed," and "What Is This Feeling?"

The national tour of Wicked has been running continuously since 2005, bringing the full Broadway production to hundreds of cities. The touring company features the same elaborate sets, including the giant mechanical dragon that guards the proscenium, the massive Emerald City backdrop, and the flying rig that sends Elphaba soaring above the audience. Costume designer Susan Hilferty created over 200 individual costumes for the show, with Glindas iconic bubble dress alone containing over 100,000 sequins.

The 2024 film adaptation directed by Jon M. Chu brought Wicked to an even wider audience. Starring Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, the movie earned critical acclaim and massive box office numbers, with Part Two continuing the story. The films success has driven a new wave of interest in the stage production, and 2027 tour dates are seeing strong demand across every market.

With over two decades on stage and billions in worldwide grosses, Wicked has cemented its place as one of the most successful musicals of all time. The 2027 tour continues that legacy, bringing the magic, the music, and the message of Oz to audiences in cities large and small.

Can I see Wicked on Broadway and on tour?

Wicked runs simultaneously on Broadway at the Gershwin Theatre in New York City and on national tour across the country.
