WICKED<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

WICKED <\/strong>has recently celebrated its 6000th<\/sup> performance and has been one of the most popular musicals on London\u2019s West End for almost 16 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all know the classic story of The Wizard of Oz when Dorothy famously triumphed over The Wicked Witch of the West but do we know everything? We only heard one side of the story after all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on Gregory Maguire\u2019s acclaimed 1995 novel, \u2018Wicked: The life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West\u2019. The story re-imagines the Land of Oz, creating a parallel universe to the well-known story originally written by L. Frank Baum in 1900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We follow the story of an unlikely friendship between 2 young women, Elphaba and Glinda. After their encounter with \u2018The Wonderful Wizard of Oz\u2019 their lives take very different paths that lead them to eventually become \u2018The Wicked Witch of the West\u2019 and \u2018Glinda the Good\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book tickets now for an \u2018Ozmipolitan night out because there really is \u2018no place like WICKED<\/strong>!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story sees Shakespeare\u2019s wife Anne Hathaway reimagine his classic tale and we find out what might have happened if Juliet didn\u2019t kill herself after Romeo dies. We follow Juliet as she travels to Verona to \u2018live her best life\u2019 with her new best friends. Will Juliet finally get the ending she deserves and is there really life after Romeo?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
