    Trip: The Bushnell Broadway Series: WICKED

    Posted on March 25, 2024 by Groton

    Thursday, April 25th

     

    Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”

    From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story that USA Today cheers is “a complete triumph! An original musical that will make you laugh, cry, and think.”

    We have Orchestra Seats for the 2 pm show/ 2hr 45 min with intermission.
    Cost is $118 res / $128 non res We depart Thrive 55+ at 12:30 pm.

    THE CHER SHOW—the Tony Award®-winning musical of her story, and it’s packed with so much Cher that it takes three women to play her: the kid starting out, the glam pop star, and the icon. THE CHER SHOW is 35 smash hits, six
    decades of stardom, two rock-star husbands, a Grammy®, an Oscar®, an Emmy®, and enough Tony Award-winning Bob Mackie gowns to cause a sequin shortage in New York City, all in one unabashedly fabulous new musical that will have audiences dancing in the aisles! We have Orchestra Seats for the 2 pm show. Run time: 2hr 30 min with 1 intermission. We depart Thrive 55+ at 1230 pm
