Broadway in Boston Wicked

 We were able to attend a performance of Wicked, from Broadway at Boston, at the Citizens Bank Opera House and it was AMAZING!

The whole cast was wonderful but Jennafer Newberry as Glinda and Lissa deGuzzman as Elphaba really were shining stars. Glinda had me laughing out loud numerous times during the show, she really was phenomenal. 
Elphaba was so convincing too with an amazing voice. Plus her green skin was on point. 
Jordan Litz as Fiyero was truly a prince from a Disney movie. He was so fantastic.

Every little detail was so well done even starting out with the dragon at the top of the stage. The costuming was wonderful along with special effects.
The story is such a good one. We thoroughly enjoyed it!
The Citizens Bank Opera House is gorgeous.
More about the show:
So much happened before Dorothy dropped in.
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 girl, 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.” With a thrilling score that includes the hits “Defying Gravity,” “Popular” and “For Good,” WICKED has been hailed by The New York Times as “the defining musical of the decade.” 

Time Magazine cheers, “if every musical had the brain, the heart, and the courage of WICKED, Broadway really would be a magical place.” The Gershwin Theatre on 50th Street and Broadway is that magical place. From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. It will send your spirits soaring to heights you’ll never forget.

Broadway in Boston has so many awesome shows coming up! Make sure to get tickets to them now! They also have Anastasia and Hamilton!
