WICKED, the global musical phenomenon that tells the incredible untold story of the Witches of Oz, opens at Southampton’s Mayflower Theatre on Tuesday, October 21.
Acclaimed as “one of the most popular West End musicals ever" (London Evening Standard), the record-breaking London production continues its open-ended run at the Apollo Victoria Theatre where it is already the 15th longest-running musical in West End theatre history.
Wicked has already been seen by over 38 million people around the world and has nine productions running concurrently.
In a brilliantly witty re-imagining of the stories and characters created by L. Frank Baum in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Wicked tells the incredible untold story of an unlikely but profound friendship between two sorcery students.
Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Wicked has music and lyrics by multi Grammy and Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz, a book by Winnie Holzman, musical staging by Wayne Cilento and is directed by two-time Tony Award winner and Olivier Award nominee Joe Mantello.
Wicked is based on the acclaimed novel, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, by Gregory Maguire.
The strictly limited four-week season ends on Saturday, November 15 as part of the award-winning musical’s major UK and Ireland Tour.
Tickets are available from the box office on 02380 711811 or online at mayflower.org.uk.
