Wicked tells the incredible story of an unlikely but profound friendship between two young women: the blond and very popular Glinda and a misunderstood green girl named Elphaba. Following an encounter with the Wonderful Wizard, their friendship reaches a crossroads, and their lives take very different paths. Glinda`s unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba`s determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies as Glinda the Good and Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West.

Wicked is based on the novel by Gregory Maguire ‘Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West’. The musical is written by Emmy and Tony Award nominee Winnie Holzman, music, and lyrics Stephen Schwartz. Musical staging is by Wayne Cilento with direction by Joe Mantello.

Bookings are open until 15 December 2024 at the Apollo Victoria Theatre London.
