Wicked
Apollo Victoria Theatre
The Show
Based on the best selling novel by Gregory Maguire with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. Wicked the Musical transports audiences to a spectacular fantasy world of wizards and witches to tell the incredible untold story of an extraordinary friendship between Glinda and Elphaba, two young witches who eventually become the Good Witch of the North and the infamous Wicked Witch of the West respectively.
Wicked explores the concept that the Wicked Witch of the West, was a misunderstood, victimized person whose behavior was merely a reaction against a charlatan wizard's corrupt government. It also chronicles her relationship with the beautiful and ambitious Galinda Upland. Through the show their friendship struggles to endure extreme personality conflicts, opposing viewpoints, rivalry over the same love-interest, and Elphaba's eventual fall from grace.
