Wicked To Return To Shea’s Buffalo Theatre

Currently the 4th longest-running show in Broadway history, Wicked is currently in its 22nd year on Broadway. This marks the fifth return of Wicked to the Shea’s Buffalo Theatre stage. Winner of over 100 international awards including the Grammy Award and three Tony Awards, Wicked has been performed in over 100 cities in 16 countries around the world and has thus far been translated into six languages. Wicked has been seen by over 70 million people worldwide and has over $6 billion in global sales.

The Broadway sensation Wicked looks at what happened in the Land of Oz, but from a different angle.  Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin, who is smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships… until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”

With a thrilling score that includes the hits “Defying Gravity,” “Popular” and “For Good,” WICKED has been hailed by The New York Times as “the defining musical of the decade,” and by Time Magazine as “a magical Broadway musical with brains, heart, and courage.”  NBC Nightly News calls the hit musical “the most successful Broadway show ever.”
