Friendship is at the center of Wicked, but there’s also a tangle of romance when the students of Shiz pair up for the school’s dance at the Ozdust Ballroom — and the outcast Elphaba finds herself falling unexpectedly in love.

Directed by director Rachel Chavkin, Hadestown took home the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2019 and has since become one of the best date night Broadway shows.
