SUMMARY:Wicked
DESCRIPTION:See it LIVE. Remember it FOREVER. So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. WICKED\, the Broadway sensation\, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz… but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives\, there is another young woman\, born with emerald-green skin—smart\, fiery\, misunderstood\, and possessing an extraordinary talent. \nWhen she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular\, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good\,” and the other one “wicked.” From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment\, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. “If every musical had the brains\, heart and courage of WICKED\, Broadway really would be a magical place” (Time Magazine).

SUMMARY:The Road to Revolution: Massachusetts and the Independence Movement
DESCRIPTION:Explore major Massachusetts events in the first year of the American Revolution at the Old State House\, where protest turned into action and the momentum for independence accelerated. Created through a partnership between Revolutionary Spaces and the Massachusetts Historical Society\, The Road to Revolution: Massachusetts and the Independence Movement invites visitors to step into 1775 and 1776—a moment defined by uncertainty\, debate\, and decisions that would reshape the world. \nThis exhibition commemorates the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution by offering unique and personal perspectives on events leading to the Declaration of Independence. It delves into the tensions\, choices\, and consequences that defined this pivotal time\, providing a deeper understanding of the people who shaped America’s fight for independence. Featuring private letters\, personal diary entries\, and treasured artifacts from the MHS collection\, the exhibition offers a dynamic and engaging look at how and why Massachusetts residents chose revolution as the path forward.

SUMMARY:Experience The Ruckus!
DESCRIPTION:Step inside Boston’s historic Old South Meeting House and experience the Ruckus! that ignited the American Revolution. This 25-minute immersive show drops you right into the heart of the debate and defiance that once filled this iconic space\, where ordinary people set extraordinary change in motion. \nFrom the floorboards to the balconies\, you will be surrounded by dynamic sound\, lighting\, and projected animations of fiery revolutionaries\, determined citizens\, and some unlikely troublemakers whose courage shook these walls. \nFor visitors\, locals\, and adventurers of all ages\, Ruckus! is a powerful way to begin exploring Boston’s pivotal role in shaping our nation—a fast-paced and unforgettable reminder that a little Ruckus! can change everything. \nTickets also get you general admission to the Old State House and Old South Meeting House\, including access to all exhibits\, gallery talks\, and tours.  \nRuckus! is suitable for general audiences\, with parental discretion is advised for younger children. The show includes loud sound effects (including gunfire)\, dynamic lighting\, and moments that may feel intense for some visitors\, particularly young children or those sensitive to loud noises or bright lights. \nRuckus! is made possible through the generous support of a local private foundation\, with major support from The Lynch Foundation\, The Hamilton Company Charitable Foundation\, Massachusetts Office of Travel & Tourism\, Massachusetts 250\, Meet Boston\, and many generous individual supporters.

SUMMARY:Wicked
DESCRIPTION:See it LIVE. Remember it FOREVER. So much happened before Dorothy dropped in. WICKED\, the Broadway sensation\, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz… but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives\, there is another young woman\, born with emerald-green skin—smart\, fiery\, misunderstood\, and possessing an extraordinary talent. \nWhen she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular\, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good\,” and the other one “wicked.” From the first electrifying note to the final breathtaking moment\, WICKED—the untold true story of the Witches of Oz—transfixes audiences with its wildly inventive story. “If every musical had the brains\, heart and courage of WICKED\, Broadway really would be a magical place” (Time Magazine).
