Magical times are swirling this season, and if you're in possession of an enchanted broom — we'll guess you just might be — you'll want to turn your treasured talisman in the direction of Tinseltown, pronto.
For "Wicked," dubbed the most "Popular" show to ever grace the Hollywood Pantages Theatre stage, is returning for a sure-to-be-ultra-popular nine-week engagement.
It's always a thrill for the ardent fans of the fantastical musical to learn that the show is again alighting in Southern California. But the fact that the production will cast its song-filled spell while "Wicked," the recently released film phenomenon, is simultaneously screening in cinemas is something quite new.

Delighting in entertainment-themed mash-ups — think of 2023's buzzed-about "Barbenheimer," which involved attending a double feature of "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" — has become a quirky cultural experience.
With that in mind, perhaps "WickWick" will catch on around our region, as "Wicked" devotees head to a cinema early in the day and the Pantages in the evening.
If there is a catchier portmanteau, we trust someone will soon invent it, all to charm the ever-charming legion of lovers of both the new film and the stage show that inspired it. (And, yes: "WickWickWick" could even be a thing, if you read the Gregory Maguire novel at some point during your whimsical "Wicked"-themed day.)
A digital lottery for the Pantages event will take place daily, treating a few lucky theater mavens to a $40 seat. Fly by the Broadway in Hollywood site for all the details you need to know.
The much-awarded musical — it boasts a trio of Tony Awards, and a Grammy, too — stars Lauren Samuels as Elphaba and Austen Danielle Bohmer as Glinda.
