About the show

We all remember how Dorothy and Glinda the Good triumphed over the Wicked Witch at the end of The Wizard of Oz, but like any good story, it has two sides. Take a trip back in time to an Oz before Dorothy, where a young and naïve Glinda meets a troubled but brilliant green-skinned Elphaba at Shiz University. Though they are yet to be good or wicked, the polar opposites of the bubbly, popular Glinda and the talented, lonely Elphaba eventually kindle a firm friendship, forged in fire.

Wicked theatre breaks will introduce you to a whole world of intrigue, where dark pasts and difficult decisions lead to a morally compromised reimagination of L Frank Baum’s iconic world of Oz.

What to expect from Wicked

With 22 magnificent songs, Wicked theatre beaks are an epic undertaking that will transport you to a land of magic and mystery, with a very human story at its heart. Since its Broadway opening in 2003 the show has won 90 awards across the world, and you’ll soon see why as this lavish story unfolds amid a whirlwind of song and colour. The music of Wicked theatre breaks has become legendary in musical theatre, with the show’s crown jewel, Defying Gravity, becoming a hit in its own right.

There can be no better way to enjoy our Wicked theatre breaks than to combine it with one of our top-quality London hotels, guaranteeing you a comfortable break in the capital. We’ll save you both time and money by providing the ideal accommodation in London – and why not add our great value rail travel as well to really take the hassle out of organising your Wicked theatre breaks?
