Event Details

Presented in Partnership with North Central Michigan College

Whether you’re ready for syllabus day at Shiz, wearing black because it’s this year’s pink, toss-tossing your hair, or dressed for a night at the Ozdust Ballroom, we invite you to have a little fun and dress up for the screening if you want.

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.

PG | 2024 | 160 minutes

Pay What You Choose

This event is offered as Pay What You Choose (with a $1 minimum) to help make the experience accessible to all. We invite you to choose the price that works best for you.
