Wicked, first week in August

hey renthead92!
i have seen wicked three times in that theater and once in the lodge seats and honestly there isnt a bad seat in the house, it is still remarkable!! i mean you arent going to see spit coming out of their mouths but still you are not bad at all LOL..you will have a great time..if you wanna see where you are sitting go to ticketmaster and click on the cadillac theater to see your seats..also the cast should still be kristy cates as elphaba (she is AMAZING) Stacie Morgain Lewis (Glinda) Gene Weygandt (The Wizard) Heidi Kettenring (Nessarose) Telly Leung (Boq) and Kristoffer Cusick (Fiyero). Madame Morrible will change because Carol Shelly will be leaving shortly...but other than that you are set! i hope you have a GREAT time!!

hey! oh no problem! but i am sorry to tell you that carol shelly leaves the 25th of june i wanna say... i know it's a short run for her...sorry!! xoxo

uuhhh....it's Loge...not lodge :)



and that's a great theatre...all the chicago theatres are very easy to get great seats in.

My favorites are the lottery seats of course, but Loge will be a good overrall view, especially if you haven't seen the show before.

Chicago has always had the best Wicked cast in my opinion (with the exception of a few tour members that are glorious), so whoever they get for replacements are sure to be fantastic :)

Enjoy!

Thanks both of you! We bought our tickets today. I don't know the exact spot, since I didn't buy them. But the person who did buy them said they're at the front of the balcony, so it sounds good. And now we're going at the end of August, so will the same cast still be there? Thanks in advance!

I think Rondi is coming back and that she was just "taking leave" to do a show at Steppenwolf which is why Carole was not here for very long.

Just some more questions, where is the stage door located? Is there usually a large crowd waiting? Do they allow pics? How long is it before the cast usually comes out? Thank you!

The "Wicked" stage door is located north of the main entrance (toward the back of the building) in the alley. If you exit the main entrance, take a right, turn right on the corner that McDonald's is on (still the same street - you don't have to cross any streets) and then walk just a little ways you will see an alley. Head down there and there is a door, that is usually labeled "Wicked Stage Door". :)

The crowd size varies - sometimes there will be large crowds, sometimes not so much. Either way, in my experiences, most actors/actresses get to everyone who wants an autograph/picture.

They do allow pictures - I've never had any hesitation from the actors about taking pictures or signing autographs.

And the amount of time the cast comes out varies - some come out right away (I'd get to the stage door ASAP), and some may take longer. If it's taking a while for an actor to come out there is usually a security guard there that may give you info about whether they will be coming out or not (there have been times where there was a party, talkbacks, etc. that actors had to go to before coming out).

Any more questions feel free to ask - and enjoy your stage door experience, too! :)

I just learned were our seats are. They are in row F of the Belcony, numbers 321-329. They seem like really good seats, are they?

Thank You so much for all of you help Singingbeauty! I cannot wait till Chicago.
