Haven't seen it yet, but I think it's a "pre-quel".

...not to be too anal or anything

No problem...actually that makes more sense because I heard it was about the "bad witches" and if one is done in during the Wizard of Oz, that would have only left one...I couldn't figure that part out....not to be too anal or anything....

Actually it's about the relationship between Glinda the good witch and Elphaba (the Green witch) when they were young girls in school. The show is an offshoot of the book by the same name which was kind of a fun read.
I've never seen the show but friends who have say it was amazing

Once you see Wicked you will never view the Wizard of Oz the same way. It is a very good show. I'm still surprised that it ranked higher then all of the concert tours since it is playing in a relatively small theater (under 2000 seats per show) in NYC.

But there are touring companies, and it is also playing in Chicago on an open run and doing very well.

Dorothy - "The boomstick... may we have it?"

Jimmy - "Please, and take the weather with you!"

Aren't there usually 8 shows per week running pretty much year-round at these theaters?

Monday's are dark and you have two shows on Saturday, so I think that it is 7 shows a week unless they do two on Sunday as well. At 1700 seats per show that is a lot of bodies spread over the year. Also I just found out that it is playing in London, Chicago and Los Angeles so I guess there might a bit more demand.

Most Broadway shows have matinees on Wednesday.
