Does anyone know if there's a way to set up a (personal) backstage tour with Wicked? I want to set one up for my friend's birthday because they've never seen a Broadway (or Touring) show before, and they're the one who introduced me to the show. Suggestions would be greatly o-ppreciated.

There's really no straightforward answer to this question. Backstage tours really only happen if you have a connection in the cast or theatre management. I have read some stories on here about a few people just getting lucky and a cast member offers to take you back, but that's not a common thing. You can't just set up a personal tour though. Hope this helps.

Call the theatre itself (administration, not box office) and see if they can get you in touch with someone who could help you. It may involve calling 17 different people, and be prepared from them to simply say, "No."

The people you would really want to contact within the show are the either the production stage manager or the company manager. You can send mail to them addressed to the theater they are currently playing in. If you aren't able to find out their names you can address it to Stage Management or Company Management, Wicked and then your theater's address.
