Wicked,
London's spellbinding and spectacular smash hit musical, tells the
incredible untold story of the legendary witches from L. Frank Baum's
classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and explains why one came
to be called 'good' and the other 'wicked'.
Based on Gregory
Maguire's 'outstanding novel' (The Independent), this 'eye-poppingly
lavish show' (Sunday Express) transports audiences to a
fantasy world of wizardry, witchcraft, sorcery and spells, with
Grammy® Award-winning music, Tony® Award-winning sets and
costumes and stunning special effects.
Experience this
unforgettable musical and discover that you've not been told the
whole story about the land of Oz.
We
say: Wicked
is a great show for seeing where your money has been spent - special
effects, a great cast, a proper band and amazing scenery and
costumes. AND it's a good story! The cast changes just seem to make
the production better and better and we are blessed with great seats
on our allocation which mean you get a really great view. All-in-all,
a brilliant highlight to any London Theatre Break.
The
music is typical American, modern musical stuff: dazzling chorus
numbers, massive power ballads, dramatic underscoring, but there is
light and shade allowing the characters their quiet times of
introspection on stage!
The
conceit of course is that this story is all happening "off
stage", as it were, in "The Wizard of Oz", so
we get tantalizing glimpses of the other story as we follow this one:
making the audience feel very clever and pleased with itself as we
recognise the references - very much adding to the fun of the piece
without dominating it too much. |
