SF Turns Out the Verdigris for 'Wicked'
Why have Coit Tower, the Ferry Building, and City Hall literally turned green? According to SF Citizen, it's in honor of the third return of the popular Stephen Schwartz musical Wicked. The "untold story of the witches of Oz" is based off of the popular book by Gregory Maguire novel. The musical version got its start here in San Francisco when it made its out-of-town premiere at the Currran many moons ago, and went off to New York to win several Tony Awards and gain a rabid cult following from enraptured fangirls.
Now it's come back to the Orpheum Theatre, and if you can't afford a ticket, which you can purchase here, you can always try out for the $25 lottery.
