Wicked the musical is coming to Scotland for a strictly limited run at the Edinburgh Playhouse. Wicked is one of the most colourful, epic and exciting musicals currently playing in the West End, and this touring production is no different (see the reviews for confirmation). The cavernous Edinburgh Playhouse will be the perfect venue for a Wicked theatre break, ensuring that this huge show hits the stage in style.
Wicked is inspired by the Wizard of Oz, and is set in the magical Land of Oz. It follows the story of the misunderstood Wicked Witch of the West and her relationships with the other witches of Oz, providing an uplifting tale of friendship and love in the most unlikely of places. Based on the 1995 novel 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West', this musical version uses some stunning musical numbers to turn an already moving storyline into a dramatic and energetic explosion of vocals, dance, costumes and colour.
On a Wicked theatre break in Edinburgh you can expect to be blown away by a magical evening at the theatre. The show is best known for its epic set piece musical scores such as “Defying Gravity”, “Popular” and “What is This Feeling”, which fill the stage with colour, movement and light, while filling the whole theatre with a huge orchestral sound and mind-bending vocals. You can also expect a unique and charming humour from this show, as its playful side offsets the poignant songs.
With a Wicked theatre break in Edinburgh, you can expect an excellent hotel to return to after you exhilarating night at the theatre. We carefully select all of our hotels to ensure that they are clean, well-reviewed and offer a high level of customer service. You can choose a hotel that is a budget 2 star or one that is a decadent 5 star, while being safe in the knowledge that your chosen Edinburgh hotel will suit your needs. Now that TicketTree offer discounted rail tickets, booking an Edinburgh theatre break has never been so easy.
The rear Balcony is the Edinburgh Playhouse’s budget section, and while you can certainly get some good budget seats up there, those pursuing cheap theatre breaks should be aware of its poor legroom. Try giving as a call for accurate advice on which seats will best suit you, and we can even try securing you an aisle seat for those who very much need it.
