Good Day Atlanta Viewer Information October 25, 2019

ATLANTA - "Wicked" at the Fox Theater: Paul Milliken goes behind the scenes at the Fox Theater to give viewers an inside look at the Broadway show "Wicked!" It’s the second highest-grossing musical in Broadway history, consistently packing houses since it first premiered on the Great White Way in 2003.  Now, Wicked is back in Atlanta, and this time the musical’s famous pair of witches will set up residence in the Fox Theatre for nearly a full month.The North American Tour of Wicked is on-stage now through November 17th at Atlanta’s Fox Theatre, with nightly performances on Tuesdays through Sundays, and matinee shows on Saturdays and Sundays.  The show tells the story of The Wizard of Oz, but does it from the points of view of the Wicked Witch of the West (named Elphaba) and the Good Witch of the North (Glinda).  Of course, the story is far more complex than that, focusing on the initial rivalry, then friendship, between the two young women and the surprising backstories of several characters from the Land of Oz.
