Home to the megamusical Wicked, the Gershwin is one of those large barns (more than 1,800 seats) built in the 1970s. The lobby is in the Art Deco style. The space was rechristened after the great composer George Gershwin in 1983. It shares the buidling with Circle in the Square Theatre.
This musical prequel to The Wizard of Oz addresses surprisingly complex themes, such as standards of beauty, morality and, believe it or not, fighting fascism. Thanks to Winnie Holzman’s witty book and Stephen Schwartz’s pop-inflected score, Wicked soars. The current cast includes Lindsay Pearce as Elphaba and Ginna Claire Mason as Glinda.
