"Wicked" (New Orleans)

Through April 11, at the Mahalia Jackson Theatre for the Performing Arts. Tickets available via Ticketmaster. Long before Dorothy drops in, two other 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. “Wicked” tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch.
