WICKED, the stage musical that tells the untold story of the Witches of Oz has celebrated its 19th anniversary at the West End’s Apollo Victoria Theatre.
In celebration, Wicked marked the occasion with the release of a new series of photographs by Danny Kaan, entitled ‘5 Minute Call’, which document members of the company making their final preparations ahead of the curtain going up.
Wicked opened in London in 2006 and is already the 10th longest-running West End production in history. Winner of more than 100 global awards, the production has now been seen by over 13 million people in London alone.
Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman have collaborated on the two-part Universal Pictures film version of Wicked, directed by Jon M. Chu and produced by Marc Platt and David Stone. Starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, Part One of the blockbuster opened in November 2024, and has become the highest-grossing film, based on a stage musical, in history. Wicked: For Good will be released in the UK on November 21, 2025.
Wicked has also announced its 40th public booking extension through to Sunday 3 January 2027.
Tickets for the stage musical are available at Wicked Direct‘s website.
