12 years after landing in London's West End, Wicked continues to delight audiences with the tale of what happened before Dorothy landed in Oz. The cast and creatives share with BroadwayWorld how they first fell in love with the show and why they think it's still playing eight gravity-defying shows a week after all this time.

Wicked is celebrating 12 gravity defying years in London's West End. The show is a prequel to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It centres on the narrative of Glinda (Sophie Evans) and Elphaba (Alice Fearn) and how they come to be known respectively as Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West in Franklin F. Baum's beloved 1900 novel.

How does a scarecrow learn to talk? How does one become a tin man? What made the lion so cowardly? In an age where prequels are being released left, right and centre in cinemas, it's no wonder that Wicked, which tells the story of what happened before Dorothy landed in Oz, is celebrating its 12th anniversary in London's West End at the Apollo Victoria Theatre.

WICKED, the West End and Broadway musical sensation that tells the incredible untold story of the Witches of Oz, will celebrate its landmark 12th birthday tomorrow (27 September 2018) at London's Apollo Victoria Theatre, where the "hugely popular show" (The Times) continues an open-ended run.

WICKED, the "gravity-defying Wizard of Oz prequel" (Time Out) that tells the incredible untold story of the Witches of Oz, will tonight (Thursday 9 August 2018) play its landmark 5000th performance at London's Apollo Victoria Theatre.

Wicked has released the first pictures of new principal cast members David Witts as Fiyero and Chris Jarman as Doctor Dillamond (who join the London production from Monday 23 July 2018), together with current cast members Alice Fearn as Elphaba, Sophie Evans as Glinda and Rosa O'Reilly, who takes over the role of Nessarose.

WICKED, the “world class West End musical” (Official London Theatre) that tells the incredible untold story of the Witches of Oz, is delighted to confirm that Alice Fearn (Elphaba), Sophie Evans (Glinda), Melanie La Barrie (Madame Morrible), Andy Hockley (The Wizard), Jack Lansbury (Boq), Laura Pick (Standby for Elphaba) and Carina Gillespie & Maria Coyne* (Standby for Glinda) will all continue in their current roles.

National Theatre has announced today the new season for June 2017 - January 2018. Take a look at the shows coming to the theatre!

Polish your broom, stock up on floo powder, get in line for the portkey (or if you're old enough, just apparate) -- to New York! The Daily Mail is echoing rumors from earlier this week at the New York Post about a certain, very magical, Broadway transfer.

During the recent Ghostbusters furore, enraged opponents claimed the movie would ruin their childhood. As someone who grew up with the Harry Potter book series - preparing for GCSEs while the characters stressed over O.W.L.s - I can happily declare that this affectionate, spellbinding work only enhances that treasured experience. It's both nostalgic and thrillingly new, a smartly crafted love letter to J.K. Rowling's invention and to theatre itself.
