Product Description

About Wicked

Since opening on Broadway in 2003, the visually spellbinding Wicked has gone on to break box office records throughout the US, with productions in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, & a tour that has played to over two million people.

The momentum of Wicked is not limited to America, with productions opening the Apollo Victoria Theatre, London in 2006, where it holds the record for the fastest West End opening, taking £100, 000 in its first hour, & also for the highest weekly gross in West End history. Productions have since opened in Stuttgart, Tokyo & Melbourne.

The show is based on Wicked: The Life & Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, Gregory Maguire’s dark prequel to L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. After a few changes, Winnie Holzman’s book tells the tale of the witches of Oz, Elphaba & Glinda who later become the Wicked Witch of the West & Glinda the Good, & how these two friends came to fill the roles they are known for.

The original music & lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (who wrote music & lyrics of the 1971 classic musical Godspell & also the lyrics for soundtrack of the 1995 Disney film Pocahontas) include huge dance numbers, touching ballads & soaring, powerful vocal performances that not only carry the plot effectively but stand as excellent listening on their own.

Wicked truly is a show for everybody; a story of friendship, equality, love, politics, good & evil that appeals to all ages, fantastic music & visual effects that defy belief (and gravity). You can forget what you thought you knew about the Wicked Witch of the West; you’ll be rooting for her in the end as over one million London theatregoers have.
