The hit show Wicked is Extending to 2026. The popular show opened at the Apollo Victoria in 2006. Wicked is still going strong as it nears it’s 19th anniversary and what’s more, the show is approaching the milestone of welcoming its 13 millionth customer! Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande recently starred in the two part blockbuster film adaptation with part 2 coming to cinemas later this year.
We are big fans of the show here at Theatre Bookings (I myself will be watching the show for the 6th time this evening!). We are thrilled to hear that Wicked is Extending until March 2026.
The show has also recently welcomed a new cast. Zizzi Strallen took on the role of Glinda alongside Emma Kingston as Elphaba.
