Bardavon Bus Trip to Broadway - Wicked

The Bardavon, in collaboration with Tours by Corby, announce our third jaunt to the Great White Way.

WICKED, the new mega hit Broadway musical, tells the whimsical story of two girls in the Land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. How this unlikely pair end up friends plus become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch, respectively, makes for the most spellbinding new musical in years.
