Wicked

Wicked at Fabulous Fox Theatre - St. Louis

Some friendships don't fit the mold. One of them is green-skinned and an outsider. The other is popular, blonde and used to being adored. Wicked builds its story on the friction between them, and on a bond that refuses to stay simple. When it lands at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis on May 25, 2027, at 7:30 PM, you get to watch that story unfold live, on a stage, with real people telling it right in front of you.

That's the heart of the pull. Wicked is a stage musical about friendship and conflict in Oz, and it's the kind of story that makes you think about your own people. Who was your opposite who became essential? Who did you misjudge at first? Bring that person along. A night built on loyalty, rivalry and the messy space between them gives you plenty to talk about long after the lights come up, and it's far better shared than described secondhand.

Then there's the music. The score includes Defying Gravity, Popular and For Good, three titles that many theatre fans know by heart. Hearing songs like these performed live in a theatre is a different experience from playing them at home. Note that movie actors have not been announced, so this is about the stage production itself, the musical as it was made to be seen. If a Tuesday night in St. Louis needs a reason to feel special, an evening with Oz is a strong one. Pick your seats, invite your favorite person, and secure your place at Wicked at the Fabulous Fox.
