On Broadway
Wicked is one of the pillars of modern Broadway. The show premiered all the way back in 2003 at the Gershwin Theater and goes as strong as ever.
In its original Broadway run, Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth portrayed frenemies Elphaba, who would become the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda the Good Witch.
The Gershwin Theater
The largest theater on Broadway, the Gershwin is located at 222 West 51st Street. It has a seating capacity of 1,933.
One wheelchair-accessible restroom is available on the second floor, but there are also restrooms featuring wide stalls in the male and female restrooms on the fourth floor.
