• Prices tend to rise as performance dates approach - best deals are usually 2-6 weeks out

🎭 Why These Seats for Wicked?

Wicked's spectacular flying effects, large set pieces, and detailed costumes make mid-mezzanine seats ideal for taking in the full production. The Gershwin's mezzanine overhang begins around Row M in orchestra, making front mezzanine and mid-orchestra the premium viewing locations for this particular show.
