Wicked

Based on the acclaimed novel by Gregory Maguire that re-imagined the stories and characters created by L. Frank Baum in 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz', WICKED tells the incredible untold story of an unlikely but profound friendship between two girls who first meet as sorcery students. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz ultimately see them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

Experience this unforgettable, award-winning musical and discover that you've notbeen told the whole story about the land of Oz...

Amazing vocal performances, songs that remain with you for days and mind blowing sets are just three of the high points of this extravaganza of a musical.  This is the story of ‘what really happened in Oz’, and it cleverly wraps the familiar tale in intrigue and adds to it twists and turns that leave you wondering.  Ultimately it is a touching, poignant tale about friendship between two almost incompatible young women set against the backdrop of fantasy and familiarity.  It’s a must-see musical that has been dazzling audiences from the moment it opened in the West End.

Wicked recently welcomed back the sensational Kerry Ellis as Elphaba, who this summer took her broomstick and hideodious hat to wow Wicked audiences on Broadway.

"A wicked and wonderful vision of Oz. A remarkable kaleidoscope of magical shocks, surprises and sensations - Wicked the Musical works like a dream." The London Evening Standard

"Inventive and suspenseful" The Financial Times
