Wicked is a musical that tells the story of The Wizard of Oz from the Wicked Witch of the West's point of view. The musical production was first staged in 2003 and has been a fixture in the West End and on Broadway ever since. Based on Gregory Maguire's excellent novel, much has been changed to create a simpler narrative. The show begins just after Dorothy has soaked the Wicked Witch, thus destroying her. The Good Witch of the North, Galinda, celebrates with the citizens of Oz, but we are taken back to the beginning of the Wicked Witch's story. At birth the witch, named Elphaba, has a difficult life ahead of her. Not only is she from the rustic ...

It had been my dream to visit London since the tiny age of just seven. This week I was lucky enough to travel down to London (first time on a plane too, I must add!) for a three-day trip. Not only was this alone a great experience, but we were also timetabled to see a show on the second night. At first, we were given the choice of either The Lion King, or Wicked. Personally, I would have preferred to see the Lion King, but as everybody else opted for the other, Wicked it was! If I am honest though, I was most looking forward to it. I hadn't a clue what Wicked was about, until I searched online. Even then though, did I just understand that it was connected to ...

I went to see this musical twice, once on the very first preview showing on 7th September 2006 at the Apollo Victoria in London and again with my daughter for Idiana Menzels final performance in the UK as Elphaba. Mu husband also went twice... once with me and once with our son! It is in my opinion an absolute must see for any Wizard of Oz fan. It is somewhat different from the original story, as Elphaba (the witch of the west) is in fact a misunderstood lovely person... to tell more would spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but it is a magical and enthralling take on the story. I saw Idina Menzel in the role of Elphaba and Helen Dallimore as ...
