Wicked plays the Gershwin Theatre and currently stars Stephanie J. Block as Elphaba and Annaleigh Ashford as Glinda.

The Stephen Schwartz-Winnie Holzman musical was one of the many shows shuttered during the lengthy stagehands strike, which ended Nov. 28. Prior to returning to work Nov. 29, Wicked co-star Block told Playbill.com, "I think for me going back to work is going to be quite a blessing. I've missed the Broadway community, I've certainly missed my cast although we have seen each other periodically by checking in at half hour. It's just a different feeling of community when you're onstage and working together to tell a story and entertain those that have come to New York to see Broadway. And I've desperately missed the character of Elphaba. She's a great part of me and going into work and doing this role eight times a week is a blessing and a release and such a gift. So I will certainly be enjoying every second onstage tonight and really appreciating it all."
