Best Return Engagement

The Tennessee Performing Arts Center had a stellar lineup for its 2017-18 Broadway series, but no show brought in audiences or roused anticipation like the return of Wicked. On its fourth visit to Nashville, Wicked hadn’t lost any of its ruby-red sparkle, drawing massive crowds and raking in $6.5 million in revenue. With Ginna Claire Mason and Mary Kate Morrissey in the roles of Glinda and Elphaba, the splashy musical hit all the right notes. The only question it left unanswered was when the Emerald City would return to Music City again. NANCY FLOYD
