Members Who Went Said:
WICKED is one of the best shows of the 21st century!
Roxie Nguyen I love the play. It was amazing. I definitely had a terrific time. In addition, the tickets were sold at a very reasonable price as well. And got a good seat too, orchestra, in the middle area. It was nice. I sure will recommend Goldstar to all of my friends.
Vicki The entire experience was great. Parking was not a problem. The Will-Call lines were short. And the show was absolutely wonderful. I loved each and everyone of the performance. The lightening and set designs were spectacular.

Event Highlights
More Details About This Event: The Los Angeles company of Wicked, Broadway's biggest blockbuster, is now in its second year at the Pantages Theatre.
Wicked tells the untold story of the witches of Oz. Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. Wicked tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch. Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman. It is directed by Joe Mantello, with musical staging by Wayne Cilento. Wicked is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone. Wicked was developed, written and had its earliest readings and workshops in Los Angeles. It is now truly a worldwide phenomenon with four companies in North America - Broadway, Chicago, on national tour, and Los Angeles, as well as productions in London, Tokyo, and Stuttgart, and a fourth international production opening next summer in Melbourne. The Grammy Award-winning (Best Musical Show Album) original cast recording of Wicked has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for sales of more than one million copies. About Pantages Theatre: In the heart of Hollywood, on Hollywood Boulevard, right down the block from Vine Street, stands the Pantages Theatre. It's a fitting location: The Pantages has become one of the greatest landmarks of Hollywood, signifying both the glorious past and adventuresome future of the world's entertainment capital.The Pantages has a history as grand and diverse as the stage and screen fare which audiences have flocked to enjoy there for half a century. These days it's one of Los Angeles's leading homes of legitimate theatre (the five highest-grossing weeks in L.A.'s theatrical history were all shows at the Pantages) and a favorite "location" for Television shows, movies and music videos. In the past, it has been a movie house, with live vaudeville acts between features as well as the site of many gala premieres and "spectaculars." For ten years the Pantages Theatre was the home of the glittering Academy Awards Presentations. The Pantages, first to last, was designed for maximum audience comfort, with over 40% of the interior space devoted to public areas, lobbies, lounges and restrooms. It offers modern comfort in a spectacular historic setting still today. |
