A tale of magic, courage and strength is coming to Seattle. For nearly a month, the Paramount Theatre’s stage will be lit up with hues of green and pink as “Wicked” takes over.
“Wicked” is the story of what really happened between Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West in Oz. The Broadway musical will run at the Paramount Theatre from November 6 to December 1, according to Broadway at the Paramount’s website.
“So much happened before Dorothy dropped in,” Broadway at the Paramount’s website states. “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.”

According to the Seattle Theatre Group’s (STG) website, groups of 10 will receive a discounted rate and reduced service fees.
Broadway at the Paramount’s website states the recommended age is 8 years and up. No children under 5 years old will be admitted.
