CLEVELAND ROOTS
It’s no secret that Wicked is a fan favorite among Cleveland audiences, having toured through Playhouse Square five times since 2006. The show’s source material, The Wizard of Oz, also has a special place in the hearts of Clevelanders as the iconic role of the Wicked Witch of the West was originated by Cleveland’s own Margaret Hamilton.
The love for this misunderstood witch continues to her modern counterpart, as thousands turned up at Blossom Music Center this past July to watch Cynthia Erivo perform alongside the Cleveland Orchestra.
