The show's producers say that when the musical closes, it will have played exactly 1,500 performances and grossed more than $200 million at the box office.

"Wicked" bills itself as the "untold story of the witches of Oz." The Broadway production won three Tony Awards and has been running at New York's Gershwin Theatre since October 2003.
