Wicked the smash hit West End musical is coming to the Bristol Hippodrome as part of its 2024 UK tour.
Based on the acclaimed novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked imagines a beguiling backstory to the lives of L. Frank Baum’s beloved characters, and reveals the magic that shaped the destinies of two unlikely friends on their remarkable journey to becoming Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
This award-winning production flies back to Bristol complete with all the spectacle and magic that make “this extraordinary show”(Bristol Post) an unforgettable and unmissable experience.
With music and lyrics by multi-Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy Award winner Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, The Prince of Egypt, The Hunchback of Notre Dame) and a book by Tony Award-nominee Winnie Holzman, Wicked is currently the 11th longest running show in West End history, having been seen at the Apollo Victoria Theatre London by over eleven million people.
Two-time Tony-winner Joe Mantello directs this “devilishly clever spin on The Wizard of Oz” (The Daily Telegraph), with musical staging by Tony-winner Wayne Cilento.
After the continuing success on both Broadway and the West End, as well as countless international productions, Wicked is embarking on its latest UK tour. The second stop on the Wicked UK tour is at the Bristol Hippodrome, with a 5 week run at the famous theatre. This essential West End musical is the winner of over 100 major international theatre awards, including three Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy Award and ten theatregoer voted WhatsOnStage Awards (including three for ‘Best West End Show’).
