Six13 - A Wicked Chanukah

Nun, gimmel, hay, and... Shiz? That's right! Because what would a Six13 Chanukah be without combining our traditions with the hottest cultural phenomenon or a classic masterwork? We're thrilled that this year, they're one and the same. While this isn't first time we've covered the genius of Broadway composer Stephen Schwartz or the vocal mastery of @ArianaGrande, we're beyond excited to take on the musical juggernaut that is WICKED! The parallels between their story, the ancient one we celebrate, and the ongoing struggle we endure today -- fighting against the odds, overcoming oppression and vilification -- are not lost on us. We hope you'll find this just as meaningful. Chag Sameach! Please subscribe (click the notification bell 🔔!), comment, like, and share with anyone who loves Chanukah, Wicked, or both!
