Wicked havde officiel premiere den 10. juni 2003 på Curran Theatre i San Francisco, efter at forpremiererne begyndte den 28. maj, som en prøveforestilling før Broadway-premieren, præsenteret af SHN. Rollerne bestod af Kristin Chenoweth som Glinda, Idina Menzel som Elphaba, Robert Morse som Troldmanden, Norbert Leo Butz som Fiyero, Michelle Federer som Nessarose, Carole Shelley som Madame Morrible, John Horton som Doktor Dillamond og Kirk McDonald som Boq, mens Stephanie J. Block, der oprindeligt læste rollen som Elphaba under workshopprocessen, fungerede som medlem af ensemblet og indstuderede hovedrollen. Prøveforløbet sluttede den 29. juni 2003, og efter en omfattende omarbejdning begyndte musicalens forpremiere på Broadway på Gershwin Theatre den 8. oktober 2003 og havde officiel premiere den 30. oktober. De fleste af det oprindelige produktionshold og skuespillerne forblev i forestillingen med undtagelse af nogle mindre ændringer i ensemblet og udskiftning af Robert Morse med Joel Grey som troldmanden, John Horton med William Youmans som doktor Dillamond og Kirk McDonald med Christopher Fitzgerald som Boq, mens Eden Espinosa og Laura Bell Bundy blev tilføjet som standbys for henholdsvis Elphaba og Glinda.
