Wicked is the enchanting musical by Winnie Holzman and Stephen Schwartz which has been capturing the hearts of audiences around the world. A magical retelling of the land of Oz, Wicked tells the story of The Wizard of Oz as you have never heard it before.

Following Elphaba, an aspiring young witch who is unfortunately very green, Wicked is the ultimate tale of friendship, love and acceptance. Inspired by Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel of the same name, the musical follows Elphaba as she begins school and meets fellow aspiring witch Galinda. Struggling to fit in because of her peculiar appearance, Elphaba’s powers soon begin to spiral out of control. As Elphaba and Galinda join together, they soon begin to learn that everything in the land of Oz may not be as it seems. When the animals begin to lose their voice, Elphaba decides that she must take action.
