We are thrilled to announce that WICKED will be returning to The Bushnell for three weeks, August 24-September 11!

Back by “Popular” demand. Entertainment Weekly calls WICKED "the best musical of the decade,” and when it first played Hartford in 2005, it broke box office records and sold out in record time. Winner of 35 major awards, including a Grammy and three Tony Awards, WICKED is Broadway’s biggest blockbuster, a cultural phenomenon and was just named “the defining musical of the decade" by The New York Times.

Long before that girl from Kansas arrives in Munchkinland, two girls meet in the land of Oz. One - born with emerald green skin - is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How these two grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good makes for "the most complete and completely satisfying new musical in a long time" (USA Today).

We can't wait for the return of WICKED - are you as excited as we are?

We can't wait for the curtain to rise on tonight's performance of NEXT TO NORMAL! From the director of RENT, NEXT TO NORMAL is the winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and three 2009 Tony Awards including Best Score. Alice Ripley, who received the 2009 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, will reprise her acclaimed performance in Hartford.
