| Wicked continues to defy the economic doom and gloom, announcing that 2009 was its highest grossing year at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. The musical grossed over £27 million at the box office in 2009 and has now taken over £90 million since opening in London in September 2006. It was also another year of honours as the hit show won the London Award for 'Best Family Fun' and was short-listed for 'Best West End Show' by theatregoers themselves. |

Untold Story of the Wicked WitchWicked tells the unknown history of the Wicked Witch of the West, turning convention on its head by revealing that perhaps she wasn’t so bad after all! Set mainly before the arrival of Dorothy, Wicked is a brilliant revisionist look at the wonderful world of Oz. The musical is based on the novel ‘Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West’ by Gregory McGuire. Wicked proudly supports Magic 105.4's ‘Cash for Kids’ charity and the Anti-Bullying Alliance. |
