After 5 Years, The Gwen Hotel Brings Outdoor Movie Nights Back With A Magical Rooftop Screening Of ‘Wicked’

As fans of the modern musical who have **fallen in love with the Broadway show *Wicked*, we were thrilled to see the movie exceed our expectations—so much so that we went back to see it again and again (and maybe even again!) Yet, there’s something even more exciting on the horizon: Wicked: For Good, the epic conclusion to the Wicked adaptation. To prepare for this momentous occasion, we’ll be rewatching the beloved *Wicked*, but not in our homes. There is actually something much better!
