And “add-on” show, “Wicked,” will perform January 11 – 29, 2017.

This is such a killer series, you really should consider buying the entire package. To make it more appealing, season subscribers have access to the best seats, can purchase additional tickets before they go on sale to the general public, exchange tickets, replace lost tickets.
