Wicked at Orpheum Theatre

Step Into the Land of Oz With Wicked Playing at Orpheum Theatre

So much happened in the land of Oz before Dorothy arrived, and luckily, we have Wicked to narrate the origins. One of the most triumphant plays in the history of the Broadway circuit is going to be playing inside Orpheum Theatre on Thursday 25th June 2026. The Wicked North American Tour brings this beloved musical to Omaha's historic venue as part of the Broadway at Omaha Performing Arts season. The light and the darkness meet on the stage while some of the most memorable songs that you know and love from this classic resonate in the halls of Orpheum Theatre. Before you know it, you're going to be immersed in "Defying Gravity" and "The Wizard and I." This is a performance that was ideally suited to be a stage show, and boy, does it shine!

The Costumes, the Lighting, All Work Together to Make Wicked Majestic

Perhaps one of the reasons why Wicked has been so successful both on Broadway and through these tours is that the story doesn't need a super elaborate stage design or gimmicks. Outstanding lighting and the amazing costume designs, paired with some of the finest performers to hit NYC, have been enough to lead this production to multiple Tony wins and sold-out shows. The touring production has won over 50 major awards including a Grammy Award. Yet, since the story and the look and feel are recognizable at this point, the audience isn't as tied to a specific element in production to experience Wicked. This makes it a fantastic option to see on the road! A perfect example of the opposite is the Tiger animatronic from Life of Pi. That's an stunning stage innovation, and it looks amazing when it works, but it's a little harder to take that show on the road. With Wicked, oddly enough, you don't need a lot to feel you've set foot in the land of Oz.

Listen to Broadway Experts When Picking Your Seats at Orpheum Theatre

It can be a little tempting to locate a spot on the front row to experience Wicked live, yet people in the know say it's one of the not the best locations to see a show. There's a reason why the rich and famous used to sit in the boxes on the upper levels. Try to find a spot toward the middle of the theater, quite a few rows removed from the stage. Those seats will offer the clearest view of the land of Oz and the story unfolding between the witches. The historic Orpheum Theater seats approximately 2,600 guests across multiple levels including orchestra and balcony.
