How can I send a note or letter to a cast member?
 

You can write to the touring cast c/o WICKED at the theatres where the show is playing (just please make sure to check your dates to ensure it arrives during WICKED's performance weeks).

While you can rest assured that all letters will be received and read, one short day here in Oz is filled with "so much to do" that we cannot promise every letter will be answered.  PLEASE NOTE: if you are requesting signed photos or Playbills, a self-addressed stamped envelope will improve your chances of getting a response. Also, be sure to
include your return address on your actual letter (if it gets separated from its envelope that will make it a lot less confusifying!)
