TULSA, Okla. — The musical WICKED returns to Tulsa for three weeks of performances starting May 28, 2025.

This is the fifth time the traveling show has flown into the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, and 2 News Oklahoma got a backstage pass to meet the real wizards who make the magic happen.

WATCH: Behind-the-scenes wizards of Tulsa's WICKED

"You'll walk into this theatre, and you'll be transported immediately. You know you're going someplace special for the next two and half hours," said WICKED Company Manager Steve Quinn.

It takes brains, heart, courage, and two and a half days to turn this corner of Green Country into the Emerald City.

"We have 11 semi-trucks full of equipment that's filling up this theatre to become WICKED," said Quinn.

But before the audience can fill the seats, there's load-in. The traveling crew is joined by Tulsans to get the show running.

"There's 65 in the WICKED touring company, including cast, crew musicians, and so on and so forth. And then we add about - 85 locals working to get the show up and running we cut that to about 28 during the show, including 9 local musicians," said Quinn.

Matt Biltgen is the head carpenter, having been with the show for 21 years. "This is the fifth WICKED set I've built," said Biltgen.

He knows the set like the back of his hand. "The Emerald City drop weighs 1400 pounds, and it's got LED lights on it, over 1000 lights in it. So, it's the big scene where we do the Emerald City; you'll see it all lit up, and the entire stage goes green," said Biltgen.

The lighting is new this time around.

Biltgen said, "We just converted all of our conventional lights, so the show is a lot brighter, and there's multicolor now, so it's totally changed the look of the show."

The show, like Broadway, has the same effects and over $2 million worth of costumes. We are told that audiences should watch for a few extras as well. Quinn said, "We have a couple of bells and whistles, which I cannot spoil."

It takes precision and the efforts of 100 people behind the scenes to put on something this popular. Galinda's bubble is already flying high. "It's 55 feet in the air. This is our tape measure, and we level it. A dual-action thrust goes back and forth and sideways- it weighs about 6,000 pounds," said Biltgen.

It's a heavy lift to set up for the show, but these wizards are working their magic and say in one short day, they'll be ready to wow Tulsa again.

"Just to see the differences in our show. I think the movie is an amazing tribute to a wonderful Broadway show. I think we're a little bit better, but that's just me," said Quinn.

WICKED runs May 28 - June 16, 2025 at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. Tickets are still available for the three-week run. You can find them here.

St. Francis Health System and OSU Medical Center partner to bring the first Level 1 trauma center to Eastern Oklahoma—a game changer for regional trauma care anticipated.

TULSA, Okla. -

Eastern Oklahoma may soon have access to a Level 1 trauma center, a move health officials say could be life-saving for patients across the region.

Until now, patients with complex, life-threatening injuries had to be transferred to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City or even out of state for the highest level of trauma care. But thanks to new legislation, that could soon change.

St. Francis Health System and OSU Medical Center are working in a new public-private partnership to establish Tulsa’s first Level 1 trauma center. Hospital leadership says this effort, which has been more than a decade in the making, would be a “game changer” for trauma care in the eastern half of the state.

“To have a Level 1 trauma center requires a substantial investment in infrastructure and personnel,” said G.T. Bynum, vice president of public and government affairs for Saint Francis. “There’s a reason there isn’t one in Eastern Oklahoma.”

Level 1 trauma centers, as defined by the American College of Surgeons, must provide comprehensive care for all levels of injuries at all times. That includes having specialized staff and resources available 24/7.

“You don’t have to page somebody and ask them to come in from home or wherever they might be and wait for them to get here,” Bynum said. “They are here, ready to provide that care immediately.”

The need for this level of care is significant. According to Bynum, more than 60% of trauma patients treated at St. Francis come from outside the Tulsa metro area.

“When I first heard about this, I was like, ‘Oh, this is great for Tulsa,’” Bynum said. “But this is something that benefits the whole eastern half of the state of Oklahoma.”

St. Francis has been building toward this goal since at least 2014, when it opened its trauma tower adjacent to the emergency department. The hospital’s ER at 61st Street and Yale Avenue is currently one of the 10 busiest emergency rooms in the United States, according to Bynum.

The hospital is now undergoing the certification process with the American College of Surgeons and could learn by the end of the year whether it will officially become a Level 1 trauma center.

State Sen. Jon Haste, R-Broken Arrow, co-authored both bills that helped pave the way for this partnership and sent us this statement:

“For far too long, families in Eastern Oklahoma have lacked access to the highest level of trauma care. This new plan changes that. With world-class specialists on site 24/7 and a commitment to training the next generation of physicians, this trauma center will save lives, strengthen rural health and set a new standard for emergency care in our state. I am proud of my colleagues in the Legislature who saw the wisdom in investing in this landmark partnership and voted in the best interests of Oklahomans to move it forward.”
