Wicked

Wicked at Fabulous Fox Theatre - St. Louis

Some stories stay with you because they flip the script. Wicked does that with Oz, turning a familiar land into a place of friendship, conflict and difficult choices. At the center are two very different young women: a green-skinned outsider and a popular blonde. One is judged on sight. The other is adored. What happens when their paths collide is the heart of this stage musical, and it's the kind of setup that makes you lean forward before the first song begins.

Then there's the music. The score includes Defying Gravity, Popular and For Good, titles that fans can hear in their heads just by reading them. Live theatre gives songs like these a different kind of presence. You aren't pressing play from the couch. You're in the room at Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis, with the story unfolding in front of you and the people beside you sharing it in real time. Casting for this booking isn't announced, so the draw here is the production itself and the story it tells.

Sunday, May 23, 2027, at 1:00 PM is a natural fit for a day out. Think of it as a plan worth making early: a parent and child, longtime friends, a group that has talked about seeing Wicked for years. A story about the bonds between two unlikely allies can make a great shared outing, especially when you walk out still humming. If this one has been on your list, grab your seats for Wicked in St. Louis here and give the afternoon a date.
