What is Wicked about?
When Dorothy famously triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West, we only ever heard one side of the story.
WICKED is based on the 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire – Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. It takes a look at the Land of Oz with new eyes and creates a parallel journey to the familiar The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.
Based on the acclaimed novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked imagines a beguiling backstory and future possibilities to the lives of L. Frank Baum’s beloved characters from ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’, revealing the decisions and events that shape the destinies of two unlikely university friends on their journey to becoming ‘Glinda The Good’ and the ‘Wicked Witch of the West’.

Built as an ornate cinema in 1929, the Apollo Victoria Theatre spent many years of its life hosting non-theatrical events. ELO, Shirley Bassey and Led Zeppelin all performed on the stage before it was reclaimed for musical theatre staples like The Sound of Music and Fiddler on the Roof in the 1980s.
