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 is celebrating 12 gravity defying years in London's West End. The show is a prequel to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Baum's beloved 1900 novel.
