Wicked

Wicked at Fabulous Fox Theatre - St. Louis

Some stories stay with you because they flip the script. Wicked does that in Oz, where a green-skinned outsider and a popular blonde collide, clash and somehow become the center of each other's world. It's a stage musical about friendship and conflict, and it starts with a simple question: what happens when two very different people are thrown together? On May 22, 2027, at 2:00 PM, the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis puts that question in front of you, live.

Think about the songs. The score includes Defying Gravity, Popular and For Good, three titles that many theatre lovers can name before the first note finishes. Hearing music like that performed on a stage is a different thing from playing it at home. A live production gives each number a room to fill and an audience to fill it. If you've ever hummed one of these songs in the car, this is your chance to hear it where it belongs.

A Saturday matinee also makes a natural plan. Invite a friend who has always known the story. Bring someone who is just curious about Oz seen from a fresh angle. Make an afternoon of it in St. Louis, then spend the ride home talking about the outsider, the popular girl and the bond between them. Note that movie actors have not been announced, so this is about the stage musical itself. Pick your seats and secure your Wicked tickets for the Fabulous Fox Theatre here.
