Wicked

Wicked at Fabulous Fox Theatre - St. Louis

Some stories hit harder when you watch them unfold in the same room. Wicked is one of them. This is a stage musical about friendship and conflict in Oz, built around a green-skinned outsider and a popular blonde. Two very different young women. One tangled bond. On Sunday, May 16, 2027, at 1:00 PM, that story comes to the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis.

That pairing is the heart of the appeal. Almost everyone has known someone who seemed to have it all, and almost everyone has felt like the one standing apart. Wicked puts both perspectives in front of you and lets the friendship, the friction and the tension between them drive the evening. Bring the person who has always been your "popular" counterpart, or the friend who has stuck with you through the awkward years. Seeing it together makes the story feel personal, and it gives you something to talk about long after you leave your seats.

Then there is the music. The score includes Defying Gravity, Popular and For Good, three titles that fans of the show will recognize right away. Hearing them performed live in a theatre setting is a different experience from playing them at home. A Sunday 1:00 PM performance also makes this an easy outing to plan with family or friends. This is a stage production, and no movie actors have been announced, so the draw is the show itself. If Wicked has been on your list, secure your seats for the St. Louis performance here.
