Discover the Untold Story of the Witches of Oz

Long before Dorothy dropped in, two young women met in the Land of Oz. One, the popular and radiant Glinda, and the other, the misunderstood Elphaba, with her extraordinary emerald-green skin. Wicked tells their story – the powerful bond of friendship they form, the choices they make, and the events that ultimately lead them to fulfilling their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

Based on Gregory Maguire’s acclaimed novel and brought to life by the dazzling music and lyrics of Stephen Schwartz and a captivating book by Winnie Holzman, Wicked offers a clever and compelling new perspective on the classic Wizard of Oz tale. It’s a story filled with heart, humour, and breathtaking moments that explore universal themes of friendship, identity, and the complex nature of good and evil.

A West End Phenomenon: Celebrating 19 Spellbinding Years!

Wicked is a true West End landmark, currently celebrating its incredible 19th year at the stunning Apollo Victoria Theatre. Its longevity is a testament to its enduring popularity, having been seen by over 12 million people in London alone and playing over 6,500 performances. This “devilishly clever spin on The Wizard of Oz” (The Daily Telegraph) is a global cultural phenomenon, captivating audiences in over 130 cities across 16 countries and boasting over $6 billion in global receipts. Explore more fascinating facts and figures about Wicked’s worldwide success.

The show has garnered over 100 major international awards, including three Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, and a Grammy Award for its Original Broadway Cast album, which has sold nearly 4 million copies.

Here are a few more magical facts about Wicked:

  • Did you know that the name Elphaba, given to the Wicked Witch of the West in Gregory Maguire’s novel, was created by the author as a nod to L. Frank Baum, the writer of the original Wizard of Oz books? It’s derived from his initials, L.F.B.! Delve into more intriguing facts about the show’s origins and details.
  • The show’s signature anthem, “Defying Gravity,” is a showstopper brought to life by stunning technical magic on stage, including a complex, custom-built lift that elevates Elphaba as she embraces her power. This iconic song was even played to wake up astronauts aboard the space shuttle mission STS-131!
  • The Apollo Victoria Theatre itself is a fittingly grand venue for Wicked. This historic Art Deco theatre, with a seating capacity of 2,328, was specifically renovated in the past for large-scale productions, providing a spectacular setting for the show’s elaborate sets and costumes. Learn more about the history and features of the Apollo Victoria Theatre.
  • The recent two-part film adaptation of Wicked, starring Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, was a major cinematic event. While the first part received 10 Academy Award nominations (as of the 2025 ceremony), it took home two Oscars for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design, highlighting the incredible visual artistry associated with Oz. Find out more about the Wicked film’s Academy Award wins.
