Wicked at Kansas City Music Hall

Step Into the Land of Oz With Wicked Playing at Music Hall Kansas City

So much happened in the land of Oz before Dorothy arrived, and luckily, we have Wicked to tell the story. One of the highest-grossing plays in the history of the Broadway circuit is going to be staged inside Music Hall Kansas City on Sunday 30th August 2026. The light and the darkness converge on the stage while some of the beloved numbers that you know and love from this classic echo through the halls of Music Hall Kansas City. Before you know it, you're going to be delighted by "Defying Gravity" and "The Wizard and I." This is a performance that was perfectly crafted to be a stage show, and boy, does it prove it!

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. Top-notch lighting and the amazing costume designs, paired with some of the greatest talents to hit NYC, have been enough to lead this production to plenty of Tony honors and sold-out shows. Yet, since the story and the look and feel are well-known at this point, the audience isn't as tied to a specific element in production to experience Wicked. This makes it a great show to see on the road! A perfect example of the opposite is the Tiger animatronic from Life of Pi. That's an remarkable engineering accomplishment, 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 realize you've set foot in the land of Oz.

Listen to Broadway Experts When Picking Your Seats at Music Hall Kansas City

It can be a little tempting to grab 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 back from the stage. Those seats will offer the clearest view of the land of Oz and the story unfolding between the witches.
