SUMMARY:Wicked
DESCRIPTION:So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. \nWICKED\, the Broadway sensation\, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle.  Long before Dorothy arrives\, there is another young woman\, born with emerald-green skin—smart\, fiery\, misunderstood\, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular\, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good\,” and the other one “wicked.” \nFrom the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment\, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story that USA Today cheers is “a complete triumph! An original musical that will make you laugh\, cry\, and think.”

SUMMARY:The Wedding Singer
DESCRIPTION:It’s 1985\, and rock star wannabe\, Robbie Hart\, is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party until his own fiancée leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart\, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia\, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. As luck would have it\, Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark\, and\, unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade\, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. Packed with big hair\, bodacious laughs\, and retro power-pop music\, it’s a righteous ride through heartbreak\, hope\, and find the one worth singing for!

SUMMARY:Wicked
DESCRIPTION:So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. \nWICKED\, the Broadway sensation\, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle.  Long before Dorothy arrives\, there is another young woman\, born with emerald-green skin—smart\, fiery\, misunderstood\, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular\, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good\,” and the other one “wicked.” \nFrom the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment\, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story that USA Today cheers is “a complete triumph! An original musical that will make you laugh\, cry\, and think.”
