One of the most popular musicals of all time, Wicked is based on the novel by Gregory Maguire. This family-friendly show imagines a beguiling backstory and future possibilities to the lives of L. Frank Baum’s beloved characters from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and reveals the decisions and events that shape the destinies of two unlikely university friends on their journey to becoming Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Wicked is on now at the Edinburgh Playhouse, and you can catch it until 14 January 2024. These are the blockbuster production’s only Scottish dates, and tickets are available via atgtickets.com/Edinburgh or by phone on 0844 871 7615 (fees apply).
