‘Wicked’ Was Originally Trashed by Theater Critics: “Boring, Colorless, Overstuffed”
The musical “Wicked,” produced by Universal Studios, is projected to bring in approximately $85 million during its opening weekend over Thanksgiving. This production is adapted from a highly successful stage show that has accumulated $1.7 billion in box office sales since it first premiered on Broadway 21 years ago, making it one of the highest-grossing shows ever.
