SCHENECTADY – As the lights go down on the Mainstage a roar of the crowd erupts. A crowd of young and old, delighted and energetic about the show they are about to see. A show of friendship and the trials everyone must face to be accepted and do what we feel is right.

WICKED, the Tony-Award winning musical began its second run at Proctors on Wednesday.

Highly entertaining for all ages the show is packed full of laughs and emotion.

Everyone knows the story of Dorothy and Toto. Twister comes, house falls, and the Witch of the East is dead. But what do you know really? Was Glinda as “Good” as she seems. What made the Wicked Witch so, well, Wicked?
