Wicked Will Fly Back to the Pantages in December 2024 (EXCLUSIVE)

News

Fellow Ozians, “Wicked” is not just getting a movie adaptation helmed by Jon M. Chu. The musical, currently celebrating its 20th anniversary on Broadway, will also be flying back to the Hollywood Pantages Theatre for a limited engagement beginning December 2024.

Current Broadway in Hollywood season ticket holders will have instant access to “Wicked” when they auto-renew into the new season in early 2024. Additionally, new customers who purchase 2024-2025 season packages will also have immediate access to “Wicked” prior to any single ticket pre-sales.

Set in the Land of Oz, “Wicked” tells the tale of what happened before Dorothy arrives. The story follows Elphaba, a young woman born with green skin who possesses an extraordinary talent. She crosses paths with the bubbly, popular Glinda, who loves all things pink. Despite their initial rivalry, the two form an unlikely friendship — until the world deems one as “good” and the other as “wicked.”
