Released in 1939, The Wizard Of Oz quickly became one of the greatest films of the 20th century, starring Judy Garland as the lovable Dorothy. Although audiences got to know Dorothy, the Lion, the Tin Man and the Scarecrow, people wanted to find out more about the witches. In 2003, Wicked premiered on Broadway and was later brought to the West End in 2006 where audiences have lapped it up ever since. See how the greenest witch in town gained her reputation in this spellbinding musical with enchanting scenery and costumes. So, if you want to see a West End classic you’ve heard of time and time again but have never been to, what are you waiting for? Book your tickets for Wicked now.   

At the start of the show, you’ll hear the phrase “Good news!” and you may not understand what’s going on. In time, it will all become clear, as you see why people are fearful of Elphaba from a young age; she’s green. Joining Shiz University, Elphaba meets her roommate Glinda, and Elphaba realises she’ll be paired in a room with someone who is the exact opposite of her. During the show, you’ll see the pair form an unlikely friendship, but they’re tested when they get closer to Fiyero.

Will the need for popularity take over the need to do the right thing? How will Elphaba deal with her new found situation? As the story of Wicked unfolds, you’ll find out what truly made the Wicked Witch of the West “Wicked”.

The musical is inspired from the 1995 novel “Wicked: The Life And Times Of The Wicked Witch Of The West” by Gregory Maguire. This book to stage adaptation has been seen by millions of people worldwide, continuing to entertain audiences for years to come. Now’s your chance to see Wicked and see how songs including “Defying Gravity” and “No Good Deed” have delighted crowds.
