There’s no place like home. And the touring production of “Wicked” has
apparently found one in Cleveland.

With great acting, wondrous singing, delightful
costuming and set design this show moves much faster than its two and a half
hour plus run time. You will find your eyes continuously scanning the stage as
action takes place in all corners of the frame. This is a perfect example of
what great Broadway can be and will probably be a sellout for its entire run.

Continuing a month-long run on Playhouse Square, the 14-year-old
“Wicked” has maintained all of its visual and vocal power in re-creating
a unique vision of a bizarre, magical world — thanks to ornate,
mechanical sets by Eugene Lee, impossibly intricate
costumes by Susan Hilferty (an inspiring hybrid of Victorian and 1940s
fashion) and lighting by Kenneth Posner. It’s unlike anything MGM had
Dorothy sing and dance through in “The Wizard of Oz.”

Magic still sparkles in Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of OZ. This brilliant production once again has returned to Playhouse Square (possibly for the fifth time), but then consider, this Tony-Award winner has been on Broadway since 2003 (and it’s still playing there). The time-tested winning concoction, created by Stephen Schwartz (music and lyrics), Winnie Holzman (book), and Joe Mantello (director) enchants, amuses, and entertains. The touring version, thanks to its all-round excellent cast, good small orchestra plus adept mechanics, offers Cleveland a dashing Broadway-quality production.

The national tour of "Wicked" is modern-day
Broadway perfection, from the set to the songs and the cast.
