Congratulations to Wicked as they celebrate 5000 performances on the West End tonight! This musical phenomenon has been delighting audiences at the Apollo Victoria Theatre for almost 13 years, originally opening on September 27, 2006.

What is Wicked about?

Did you always think that the Wicked Witch of the East, and Glinda The Good were lifelong enemies? You'd be wrong! After a disastrous meeting at magical academy, an extraordinary friendship forms between two girls who couldn't be any more different: blonde and ditzy Glinda, and the misunderstood nerdy green girl, Elphaba. Rejected by her family for her emerald skin tone and blamed for her younger sister's disability, Elphaba is expected to follow on in her cold father's role as mayor - but she has other plans. Plans that could change the lives of all Oz inhabitants forever.
