WICKED On Sale Saturday, August 1

BROADWAY'S BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER IS READY TO TAKE KANSAS BY STORM

WICKED, the most anticipated musical production of the 2009 – 2010 season, flies into Wichita October 21 – November 8, for its premiere Kansas engagement. Tickets will go on sale to the public on Saturday, August 1; tickets will be exclusively available at the Wichita Tix box office, 225 West Douglas at 8:00 a.m. Beginning at 11 a.m., any remaining tickets will be available for purchase online at wichitatix.com or by calling the box office at 316.219.4849. There is an 8-ticket limit per patron.

Due to pre-existing sales to subscribers and groups, there is a limited inventory of WICKED tickets to start with. It is likely that the Wichita engagement will sell out in record time. Patrons are urged to purchase their tickets to WICKED early. The on sale event will feature hot air balloon rides provided by HAVNFUN…Hot Air Ballooning, games, breakfast, beverages and radio remotes provided by KZSN Kissin’ 102, B98 FM and Channel 963, WICKED merchandise and the chance for a lucky few to “fly to the head of the line” as well as a chance to win a hot air balloon ride for two.

WICKED has been seen by millions of people all around the world, but this Wichita engagement marks the first time it has been presented in Kansas. “The cultural and economic impact of WICKED will be significant,” said Kansas Governor Mark Parkinson, “It will employ hundreds of local theater professionals, generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales tax revenues and create an economic impact of millions of dollars. I want to thank Theater League, Inc. for bringing such a critically acclaimed work to the home of Dorothy and Toto.”
Tickets start at $57 and can be purchased beginning at 8:00 a.m. Saturday, August 1 at the Wichita Tix box office. Online and phone purchases can be made for all remaining tickets beginning at 11:00 a.m. For more information on WICKED, visit wickedthemusical.com
