Wicked UK | 'Countdown to Curtain Up'

Acclaimed as “one of the most popular West End musicals ever” (London Evening Standard), the celebrated musical is already the 17th longest running show in London theatre history and has played more than 4500 performances and been seen by over 8 million people in London alone.
WICKED has won over 100 major awards around the world, including 10 theatregoer-voted WhatsOnStage Awards and two Olivier Audience Awards in the UK.
Packed with a thrilling score by multi GRAMMY® and Academy Award® winner Stephen Schwartz, including the show-stopping song ‘Defying Gravity’, Wicked is a “big-hearted musical extravaganza” (Time Out London).
Based on the acclaimed, best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire that ingeniously re-imagines the stories and characters created by L.

Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

Wicked is WICKED!!! I am going to see it on tour in July and I'm already counting down the days! It's amazing how much work goes into the performance and anyone who hasn't seen it absolutely MUST go! I hope it stays on the West End for ever and ever!!!

[@ethan7010]

I think its 15ft fir bway london and tour. Japan is 25ft i think. But for London and the tour they go much faster than bway

[@EmilyCheetham]

Depends on the the art. They go up to the balcony level I think in most theatres.
