Wicked at Orpheum Theatre Minneapolis

Step Into the Land of Oz With Wicked Playing at Orpheum Theatre

So much happened in the land of Oz before Dorothy arrived, and luckily, we have Wicked to bring the prequel to life. One of the most successful plays in the history of the Broadway circuit is going to be staged inside Orpheum Theatre on Wednesday 15th July 2026. The light and the darkness meet on the stage while some of the beloved numbers that you know and love from this classic resonate in the halls of Orpheum Theatre. Before you know it, you're going to be immersed in "Defying Gravity" and "The Wizard and I." This is a performance that was ideally suited to be a stage show, and boy, does it deliver!

The Costumes, the Lighting, All Work Together to Make Wicked Majestic

Perhaps one of the reasons why Wicked has been so successful both on Broadway and through these tours is that the story doesn't need a super elaborate stage design or gimmicks. Outstanding lighting and the amazing costume designs, paired with some of the finest performers to hit NYC, have been enough to lead this production to plenty of Tony honors and sold-out shows. Yet, since the story and the look and feel are familiar at this point, the audience isn't as tied to a specific element in production to experience Wicked. This makes it a great show to see on the road! A perfect example of the opposite is the Tiger animatronic from Life of Pi. That's an stunning stage innovation, and it looks amazing when it works, but it's a little harder to take that show on the road. With Wicked, oddly enough, you don't need a lot to experience you've set foot in the land of Oz.

Listen to Broadway Experts When Picking Your Seats at Orpheum Theatre

It can be a little tempting to secure a spot on the front row to experience Wicked live, yet people in the know say it's one of the least ideal spots to see a show. There's a reason why the rich and famous used to sit in the boxes on the upper levels. Try to find a spot toward the center of the theater, quite a few rows distant from the stage. Those seats will offer the best glimpse of the land of Oz and the story unfolding between the witches.
