Defying Gravity Since 2003

Forget a certain gingham-clad farm girl and her loyal pooch, here's the real story of Oz, from those who helped build it! Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire and crystallised by an unforgettable soundtrack by Stephen Schwartz, Wicked tells the story behind the legend, taking us back to a land full of magic - led by one who has none, and the two women who defeated him, together. A cultural phenomenon and now one of the biggest-selling movies of all time, see it where it all began in the thrillifying stage original!

Variety called the two-time Academy Award-winning film "a musical masterpiece that is much more than we could have ever expected." And can you blame them? With minimal CGI effects and meticulous hand-painted detail, the film makes us feel like we're right at home in the middle of Oz. Starring Cynthia Erivo as Elphie and Ariana Grande as Glinda, the film has cemented its place in history as the highest-grossing movie musical of all time, earning $750 million worldwide. Now that's unlimited!

Premiering on Broadway at the Gershwin Theatre in October 2003, Wicked was the smash hit of the new millennium that continues to break records over 20 years later with Stephen Schwartz's breathtaking original songs, including "Defying Gravity", "Popular," and "As Long As You're Mine", creating the perfect soundtrack to this beloved new classic.

The Start Of A Wonderful Adventure!

Thrown together as unwilling roommates at The University of Shiz, initially, the beautiful, blonde, and effervescent Glinda clashes with the fiery, misunderstood, green-skinned Elphaba. Facing various challenges in their experiences, they learn to put their differences aside and form an unexpected bond that stays with them for years to come, despite the political and magical upheaval that engulfs Oz. What makes someone truly "Wicked?" An uplifting and affirming adventure that journeys way below the skin and the heart of life.

Did You Know?

Elphaba's green transformation is down to MAC PRO Chromacake in Landscape Green, which was specially created just for the show, and is not available for regular purchase (Booooo.) Pots of the emerald hue are mixed with water because its non-smudging powers are the most long-lasting. It's almost like magic... Kudos, MAC.
