Back by popular demand, WICKED will return to the Columbus stage for a three-week run at the Ohio Theatre starting May 18, 2022 as an addition to the 2021-22 PNC Broadway in Columbus season.
Based on the book by Gregory Maguire, the Broadway hit musical Wicked is told from the perspectives on the witches of the Land of Oz. The musical centers around Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Galinda, Glinda the Good Witch, who form an unlikely friendship.
Following Wicked, Hamilton will serve as the grand finale to the 2021-22 PNC Broadway in Columbus season. The opening date has been moved to Oct. 4, 2022 due to tour and scheduling changes.
