WICKED flies into Edinburgh in 2014

WICKED, the global musical phenomenon that tells the incredible untold story of the Witches of Oz, will continue its major UK and Ireland tour, opening at The Playhouse in Edinburgh. Tickets for“this thrillingly entertaining show” (Manchester Evening News) will go on sale on 21November 2013 at 10.00am for online and telephone bookings, and personal callers at the Box Office.

Acclaimed as “one of the most popular West End musicals ever" (London Evening Standard),the record-breaking London production continues its open-ended run at the Apollo Victoria Theatre where it is already the 15th longest-running musical in West End theatre history.

Wicked has already been seen by over 38 million people around the world and has 9 productions running concurrently.

In a brilliantly witty re-imagining of the stories and characters created by L.
