Tickets for the Broadway blockbuster, Wicked, go on sale at the Keller Auditorium on Friday, May 1st.

Featuring music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Pippin, Godspell, and the Academy Award winning Pocohontas), Wicked returns to Portland from Aug 5th - August 23rd.

The musical Wicked is based off of Gregory Maguire’s book of the same title.

It is the unsung tale of one of American fiction’s most famed villains, the Wicked Witch of the West.

But this particular witch wasn’t always wicked. Prior to Dorothy Gale blowing into the wonderful Land of Oz, the wicked witch was just your average, green skinned witch who fell in love and made frenemies at school just like the rest of us.

This riveting musical tells the story of Elphaba’s evolution into a wicked witch in way that will make you laugh, cry, and maybe even hum along.
