Brought to the stage by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman, Wicked has been captivating audiences since 2006 with its story of how two unlikely university friends embark on a journey to becoming 'Glinda the Good' and the 'Wicked Witch of the West'. The musical, which is based on the acclaimed novel by Gregory Maguire, reimagines the backstory and future possibilities of some of the most beloved characters from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Wicked has earned itself over 100 global awards and has also been adapted for a film, with the second part, Wicked: For Good, releasing in cinemas this November.
