The Broadway musical Wicked has been playing to packed houses since opening in 2003. While Wicked tells the story of the witches of Oz, it also attests to the strength of Ithaca College's theater arts program. Five Ithaca alumni have roles in the show. Tony Meola '76 is the sound designer, and Michelle Federer '95, Jen Waldman '97, Staci Morgain Lewis '97, and Jerad Bortz '01 are all cast members. Wicked plays at Broadway's Gershwin Theatre.
