If you’re a musical theater lover on a budget and want to experience Wicked, there’s a chance to score “cheap” seats — whether you’re a “good witch” or “wicked witch.” The producers are offering a limited number of $25 tickets for the wickedly popular Broadway mega-hit.
The show plays The Buell Theatre (1400 Curtis St.) in Denver from July 24 to August 25, 2024.
You’ll definitely be green with envy, if you miss the show. The show is full of whimsy, humor and iconic tunes, as well as an important message about the power of friendship.
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, who is 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 “wicked.”
The discounted tickets are $31 each in total — $25 plus a $6 service fee.
MHOTC Tip: If you’re going alone, look for another solo ticket seeker and partner up. It will double your chances of winning, if you each enter for two tickets rather than one.
