Wicked Witch fans take note: Wicked returns to Seattle in September, playing from Wednesday, September 2 through Sunday, October 4 at The Paramount. While that’s a long way off from now, it’s not too early to start thinking about tickets as the show was very popular the last time it came to town and seats will probably go fast.

To encourage you to get your tickets early the Paramount is holding a special sales event on Friday morning: from 7am to 9am tickets will be on sale exclusively at the theater during a party that includes games, prizes and refreshments. As an added bonus, the first 106 ticket buyers get a reusable Wicked “green bag” from party co-sponsor WARM 106.9. After 9am, tickets can be purchased in all the usual places – online at STG Presents, Broadway Across America or Tickemaster.
