• TIME: Wicked Review
  • "If every musical had a brain, a heart and the courage of Wicked, Broadway really would be a magical place."
• TheaterMania: Wicked Review
  • "These days, a Broadway show takes the world by storm maybe once or twice a decade. Just as Rent lit the stage afire in the 1990s, this decade's mega-sensation is Wicked."
• Variety: Wicked Review
  • "Rare is the tuner that offers spectators any opportunity whatsoever to make use of their minds, but "Wicked" does so numerous times in each of its three hours, a key ingredient in aud involvement. A thinking person's musical? Who knew?"
• London Theatre Guide: Wicked Review
  • "This is a rippingly wicked show, that even the hardest of hearts will find difficult to resist. Its stunning production values alone will have the 'Friends of Dorothy' and many, many more flooding through the emerald doors for years to come."
• USA Today: Wicked Review
  • "A fine ensemble helps ensure that even the most flagrantly cute and sentimental moments are hard to resist."

• The New York Times: Wicked Rereview (2005)
  • "The current cast is a patchwork of wildly uneven talents; Elphaba isn't the only one who looks green."
• The New Yorker: Wicked Review
  • "The show’s twenty-two songs were written by Stephen Schwartz, and not one of them is memorable."
• The Village Voice: Wicked Review
  • "Hence Wicked, a hideous mess of a musical that wants to be many different things, and rarely succeeds in being any of them."
• Talkin' Broadway: Wicked Review
  • "Though the basic story of Elphaba and her crusade against the increasingly totalitarian rule of the Wizard has been retained for the musical, the lack of a singular vision or firm artistic hand makes the show, unlike the book, a muddled, unfocused enterprise."
