Wicked, the smash hit musical that tells the incredible untold story of the Witches of Oz, flies into its 12th year at London’s Apollo Victoria Theatre today (Wednesday 27 September 2017). Recently acclaimed as “the must-see wonder of the West End” (Andrew Pierce, LBC Radio), the renowned musical will become the 15th longest running show in London theatre history on 19 October 2017, when it surpasses the run of We Will Rock You.
In celebration of the production’s birthday, a series of stunning new principal cast portraits, by photographer Darren Bell, have been released.
Wicked has already played more than 4500 performances, been seen by over 8 million people in London alone and won over 100 major awards around the world, including 10 theatregoer-voted WhatsOnStage Awards and two Olivier Audience Awards in the UK.
