Wicked at West Herr Auditorium Theatre

So much happened before Dorothy dropped in! Life before Dorothy is part of what you’re going to get to witness at Wicked. This musical has become almost as popular as the original, and that’s saying a lot because who’s never heard of The Wizard of Oz? Gossip, friendship and some of the most impressive musical numbers that Broadway has ever seen are a part of this musical. It’s perhaps the stage design, though, that brings everything together. Theater enthusiasts will tell you that the best productions are the ones that are able to transport you into their world from the moment the show starts. Wicked makes sure the crowd knows that they are not in Kansas anymore, and they are, in fact, in the land of OZ.

How the show portrays the events of the original Wizard of OZ story is amazing. You’re getting a point of view that you would have never imagined, especially from the original children’s book that everything is pretty much based on. Where good and bad are represented in the presence of the two witches, and of course, this battle between them within a complex dynamic is what fuels the Wicked narrative! Definitely, not the kid’s show that the Wizard of OZ intended to be. Audiences couldn’t be more thrilled that this storyline is not afraid to tackle darker themes. After all this is a story about two witches. They should have their darker sides, even the one that’s closer to the "right path"! The story that captivated Broadway for decades is now on tour, and this is your opportunity to experience it live in Rochester, New York

The West Herr Auditorium Theatre is an excellent place to witness a show like this. You can guarantee that the production team will be able to craft the World of OZ on this stage and make it visible to everyone inside the theater. Of course, not all seats are created equal. As is the case for most of these musical productions, you may be better off finding a place toward the middle of the room, a few rows back from the stage. From here, you’ll have the perfect view from which to witness Wicked. Hit the get tickets link soon to be a part of the show on Friday 20th February 2026. Tickets are starting at only $203!
