WICKED
CPA members, CPA students and candidates are eligible for up to 10% off select seating and performances for WICKED. All sales are final, no refunds or exchanges. Pricing and performance dates are subject to change without notice.
Show Dates: July 9 – 26, 2020
Theatre: Queen Elizabeth Theatre
Show Description:
So much happened before Dorothy dropped in.
WICKED, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”
From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story that USA Today cheers is “a complete triumph! An original musical that will make you laugh, cry, and think.”

In an attempt to reduce paper usage and fraudulent tickets, Broadway Across Canada will no longer be offering print at home tickets. Customers will have the option to have their tickets sent via Canada Post or directly to their mobile phone.
