Wicked is the Tony-nominated, long-running Broadway musical that reimagines the story of the witches of Oz, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman. A national touring production plays at the Des Moines Civic Center, presented by Des Moines Performing Arts, bringing the show's large-scale sets, choreography, and well-known songs to Des Moines, Iowa. The production is notable for its enduring popularity and lavish staging that make it a major stop on North American theatre tours.
