The hit musical Wicked is swooping back into downtown Minneapolis this summer for a five-week stay at the Orpheum Theatre. The touring production is scheduled to run from July 8 to August 9, 2026, wrapping up Hennepin Arts’ Bank of America Broadway on Hennepin season. Expect this one to move quickly when tickets go on sale Friday, March 6, at 10 a.m.
Show Dates And Performance Schedule
The Orpheum’s event listing at Hennepin Arts currently shows performances from Wednesday, July 8, through Sunday, August 9, including a weekday matinee on Thursday, July 9 at 1 p.m. The schedule features evening performances Tuesday through Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday shows at 2:00 and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday performances at 1:00 and 6:30 p.m. As always, the schedule and cast are subject to change, so it is worth double-checking official listings before you lock in plans.
Tickets And How To Buy Them
According to BroadwayWorld, individual tickets are set to go on sale Friday, March 6, at 10 a.m. Central. The Orpheum event page on Ticketmaster is listed as the primary online seller and notes a ticket-delivery delay until April 24, so buyers should be careful about secondary-market offers that pop up before then. For group outings or in-person purchases, patrons are directed to contact the theater box office or the official group-sales line for more details.
Accessibility And Special Performances
Hennepin Arts lists a sensory-friendly performance on Sunday, July 26 at 6:30 p.m., presented in partnership with Fraser. The organization also highlights GalaPro services for all performances, with built-in audio description and captioning in multiple languages designed to improve access for patrons with different needs. Audience members are encouraged to review the Orpheum’s accessibility pages for details on seating, services, and any specific accommodations before purchasing tickets.
Why Wicked Keeps Pulling Minneapolis Crowds
BroadwayWorld notes that Wicked has been seen by more than 72 million people worldwide and has generated over $6.2 billion in global sales, putting it firmly among Broadway’s biggest blockbusters. Its latest visit to the Orpheum continues a long-standing pattern of the show acting as a reliable summer magnet for downtown theatergoers.
