It’s no easy feat for a musical to descend upon Broadway and takes three Tony Awards, seven Drama Desk Awards, and a Grammy Award for the original cast album, but Wicked’s done it. It is also no easy feat for a new musical to smash box office records around the globe, while climbing the ranks of productions that grossed over $1 billion, and later surpassing The Phantom of The Opera, becoming the world’s second-highest selling musical, but Wicked has. It’s written on the walls: Wicked simply keeps defying gravity.
Without a doubt, Wicked has all the bells and whistles one could possibly want and expect from a top production. The magical story, based upon L. Frank Baum's classic novel, ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’, follows the trials and tribulations of two witches, Elphaba and Glinda, before and after Dorothy’s arrival in Oz. With a deep exploration of personalities at odds, contrasting outlooks, and a shared love interest, and the With themes of complex friendships, contrasting viewpoints, love, and social issues, everybody and anybody is bound to be wowed by the enthralling storytelling, dazzling spectacle, well-developed characters, and, of course, composer Stephen Schwartz’s incredible score.
The fact is that the audience will be left dumbstruck|an entire audience will leave the Des Moines Civic Center, feeling that saying that it was nice, would be the understatement of the yearsimply wouldn’t cut it.
