Wicked
@ Victoria Apollo Theatre
Suitable for KS2 +
Wicked is already the ninth longest running musical in West End history and has won more than 100 major international awards, including 3 Tony Awards on Broadway and 2 Olivier Audience Awards in the UK.
Twice voted 'Best Theatre Production for Schools' by teachers at the annual School Travel Awards, Wicked tells the incredible untold story of an unlikely but profound friendship between two young women who first meet as sorcery students at Shiz University: the blonde 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 for her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
