About the show

Wicked tells the untold story of the witches of Oz: how the green-skinned Elphaba and the glamorous Glinda meet at university, become unlikely friends, and go on to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.

A West End fixture since 2006, it combines soaring songs such as 'Defying Gravity' with spectacular sets and costumes.
