The Broadway blockbuster Wicked returns to Music Hall for a limited three-week engagement as part of the PNC Broadway in Kansas City season. The story looks at the Land of Oz from a different angle, long before Dorothy arrives: Elphaba, a fiery young woman born with emerald-green skin, and Galinda, the bubbly, popular blonde, begin as rivals at Shiz University before forming the unlikeliest of friendships, until the world decides to call one good and the other wicked. With a thrilling score featuring “Defying Gravity,” “Popular,” and “For Good,” it’s one of the most beloved musicals of the century. Runs about 2 hours 45 minutes with one intermission.
This is a three-week engagement running August 12–30, 2026. Showtimes vary by date: Tuesday through Friday at 7:30pm, Saturdays at 2pm and 7:30pm, and Sundays at 1pm and 6:30pm, plus a 1:30pm matinee on Thursday, August 13, so check the specific date and time on your ticket. Runtime is about 2 hours 45 minutes with one intermission. Recommended for ages 8 and up, and no children under 5 are admitted. Music Hall connects to the downtown convention center, parking garage, and hotels via skywalk, with rideshare drop-off on 13th Street.
