Time Out says

Home to the megamusical Wicked, the Gershwin is one of those large barns (more than 1,800 seats) built in the 1970s. The lobby is in the Art Deco style. The space was rechristened after the great composer George Gershwin in 1983. It shares the buidling with Circle in the Square Theatre.

What’s on

Wicked

4 out of 5 stars
Wicked divided critics when it opened in 2003, but it's still transporting audiences today. A revisionist prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the show traces the radicalization of the green-skinned outsider Elphaba in a land where propaganda and repression are on the rise. Winnie Holzman's book, adapted from Gregory Maguire's much darker novel, smartly focuses on our witchy heroine's unlikely friendship with her more socially capable schoolmate, Glinda. Joe Mantello's direction is appropriately wondrous, and when Stephen Schwartz's pop-Broadway score flies, it flies high. The current cast includes Lencia Kebede as Elphaba and Allie Trimm as Glinda.
