Something “Wicked” this way comes, folks, so be sure to have your Wicked tickets in hand when it does! The blockbuster musical by Stephen Schwartz’s is finding great success all over the world, as people buy Wicked tickets and flock to see what the fuss is about. The idea to take it on the road was a masterstroke, as the Wicked tour was just what America wanted. The Wicked Broadway run continues as ever, and it amazingly still outsells all other theater tickets as we head into its 7th year on the Great White Way.

Wicked the Musical is, above all, a tale of struggle, magic and tolerance. Elphaba, the heroine, finds much in life to make her sad, but together with her friend Glinda they set off on a voyage of discovery that takes them all the way to the Wizard of Oz. And all before Dorothy and Toto arrived. Wicked teaches its young audience how people sometimes make judgements on people based on superficial traits like skin color, judgements which are illogical and in time are exposed for that. The general appearance of the sets and characters in Wicked is always the same, wherever the show plays – consistency is the secret to success where theater is concerned. Another great thing about the Wicked tour is that the production hires all local people to perform many of the offstage tasks, like loading equipment and cleaning the actors’ costumes. In an era where movies have been traditionally adapted into plays and musicals, and often vice versa, Wicked is a touchstone of constancy, an amazing creature that is now on the move!

Grab some Wicked tickets for when the magic comes to your town, and be ready to learn some lessons, have some laughs and be generally amazed!

Actor Richard Kline, of “Threes Company” fame, has landed the role of the Wizard, as Wicked tickets Boston begin to really move, and Kline says he is thrilled to take the part for the production’s third run at Boston’s Opera House. The epic Stephen Schwartz musical, set in the Land of Oz from an earlier and different perspective to that of Dorothy Gale in Wizard of Oz. This awesome musical, based on Gregory Maguire’s novel, “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West”, is literally taking the world by storm as Wicked tours America and finds success in other countries like England and Australia. Veteran actor Kline says there were a number of different ways he could have approached the role of the Wiz. He ended up deciding on one that strives for harmony in Oz rather than the approaches that had come before him.
“This character has two influences that could lead you astray. The dithering Frank Morgan from the classic movie based on L. Frank Baum’s story ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,’ or the darker character from Gregory Maguire’s novel. I wanted to be very careful to do something that was different with the character. I’m playing the Wizard as a guy who just wants to hold on to power and show that he is in command. His task is to keep everything status quo.”
Kline spoke of his fondness for his former “Three’s Company” cast-mates recently but he is looking forward to being The Wizard. “When we were doing that show, I thought it was great that we got eight seasons of work out of it”, Ritter said, “but I thought it was over when it ended. I never imagined it would remain popular for as long as it has been. Farce has a life of its own as it turns out. And, in addition to that, I think a lot of the show’s enduring appeal has to do with how much people really enjoy watching good physical comedy that you don’t have to think about too much”. One thing’s for sure, Richard Kline will be giving the part of the Wizard a grand new twist and Wicked Boston tickets are much richer as a result.

Your Wicked Boston tickets will be worth their weight in gold once you see the awesome additions to the production coming to the Boston Opera House in November 2010. There will be some excellent leading ladies for the dazzling musical, in the roles of Elphaba and Glinda respectively. Tickets to Wicked in Boston are selling fast, and these new actresses will bring a ton of new “pulling power” to Wicked the Musical. We have seen so many great actors and actresses come and go (and come back again) in Wicked the Musical, that it’s difficult to know where to start. Carmen Cusack appeared in the Chicago production of Wicked, and has played on the West End stage in Les Misérables, The Secret Garden and other productions. She has also been seen in that other heavyweight of theater productions, The Phantom of the Opera. Cusack is considered by many to be the best Glinda after Kristin Chenoweth – the original Glinda in the very first tryout in San Francisco back in 2003.

Other actors who might be brought into the Wicked tickets Boston limelight could be Deedee Mango Hall as Elphaba’s half-sister Nessarose, Barbara Tirrell, who will play Shiz University headmistress Madame Morrible, Brad Weinstock as Boq the Munchkin, P.J. Benjamin who’ll play the Wizard, Tom Flynn (Dr. Dillamond, the talking goat), and Cliffton Hall as Prince Fiyero. They have all appeared in these roles, or been associated with them in the past.

Gregory Maguire’s original novel, upon which the Musical is based presented the myth of Oz myth in a brand new way. Exploring the early lives of apprentice witches Glinda and Elphaba was a brilliant idea, so much so that Wicked has become the world’s number one musical. Tracing the paths of these two girls, before Dorothy and Toto ever arrived in Oz, Wicked tickets Boston will show you their journey into the world of sorcery, and the triumphs and heartbreaks they find there. Their fortunes cross as the musical progresses, eventually going off on their own independent journeys, much like the fortunes of people here on Earth. Find the Wicked Boston schedule here and be there to see this magical trip live on stage.

Given Boston’s strong connection with the Emerald Isle, it is only fitting that a musical featuring an Emerald Forest should play in Beantown! Move quick and grab your own Wicked tickets. Boston is going to be a great addition to the list of cities where Wicked is staged, but those tickets won’t be around forever!
