Wicked

Wicked at Fabulous Fox Theatre - St. Louis

Some stories stay with you because they flip the script. Wicked does exactly that, taking a green-skinned outsider and a popular blonde and showing what happens when two very different people collide in Oz. On May 22, 2027, at 7:30 PM, the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis becomes the place where that tale plays out live on stage, not on a screen in your living room.

Friendship and conflict sit at the heart of this musical, and that is why it travels so well from seat to seat. Everyone knows what it is to feel out of place. Everyone has known someone who seemed to have it all. Watching those two worlds meet in a live theatre production gives the story a closeness that is hard to recreate at home. The score brings Defying Gravity, Popular and For Good, three titles that fans of the show will be happy to see on the bill. Performance, story and song arrive together, in one room, at one time.

That makes this a night worth planning around. Invite the friend who has hummed these songs for years. Bring the family member who loves a big Broadway-style story. Make it a St. Louis date night with a reason to dress up a little. Shared outings become shared memories, and a stage musical about connection is a fitting way to make one. Movie actors are not announced, so the draw here is the production itself and the story it tells on stage. If Wicked has been on your wish list, this is your cue to pick your seats for Wicked at the Fabulous Fox Theatre.
