Breaking: ‘Wicked’ is coming to Fresno
An email announcement will go out to subscribers today. The national tour of “Wicked” will play at the Saroyan Theatre April 6-17, 2011. The news was up earlier today on the Broadway in Fresno Web site, although as of 3 p.m. it appears to have been taken down.
As far as I know, this will be the first time that a major musical has played in Fresno for nearly two weeks. (“Les Miserables” played for eight shows in 1993 and six shows in 1996.)
Check out the other titles in the season: “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Color Purple,” “Legally Blonde,” “Spamalot.” Lots of exciting stuff.
The Broadway in Fresno producers plan to offer a special press event next month at the Saroyan Theatre to hype the upcoming season. “Wicked” cast members are expected to attend.

AWESOME! I will definitely try to see at least 3 of those.
INCREDIBLE! This has to be one of the BEST seasons yet! It’s the first time I plan to see ALL of the shows, not just two or three. Way to go Lexus & the Broadway Series! YOU ROCK!
AMAZING season!!! I’m already way too excited for Spamalot
