Wicked 4th February - 8th March 2014

Discover the whole story about the Land of Oz! This brilliant re-imaging of the stories and characters created by L.Frank Baum in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Wicked tells the untold story of an unlikely friendship between two very different girls who first meet as sorcery students...

If you think you will see a potted version of this stunning musical, you will be pleasantly surprised.  The touring production of Wicked may have a smaller ensemble, however they deliver in every scene and the vocals are awe inspiring and pack such a punch.  The production still screams West End quality throughout.

The story is so clever - just how did Elphaba become the Wicked Witch of the West, why was Glinda made "Good", did they start out that way or did they both have their titles trust upon them?  Have you ever wondered why the tin man, scarecrow and lion end up as they were...this wonderful tale will tell all!

The unlikely friendship of the two young sorcery students, grows from their loathing of each other - one an unconventional outcast (being green!?) and one, a pretty blonde vision of perfectness.  The pair step into the wonderful world of Oz, where being green is a prerequisite.  

Both the leads are extremely talented and gave a faultless performance - the wicked but wonderfully green Elphaba (Nikki Davis-Jones) was absolutely fantastic, her vocals are strong and plays the misunderstood not quite as wicked witch to a T! Glinda, The Good (Emily Tierney) plays the fluffy, perfect popular one oh so well!  Tierney possesses a real comedic quality as an actress.  

Their duets were actually spell binding - they both squeeze every last drop of drama and comedy from the good versus bad relationship.  

In fact the entire cast will knock your socks off! The stage sets, lighting, creative costumes and music are just exceptional.

The global musical phenomenon Wicked on tour has finally hit Milton Keynes Theatre.  If you have a ticket, you won't be disappointed - because if like me you will be counting the days until you get to experience it in all is wonderful glory!  If you are thinking about getting tickets, you MUST get them or I guarantee you will kick yourself having missed such a fantastic musical production right on your door step! Book them before it flies off in to the sunset on it's continuing tour of the Country.

Don't forget to pick up a CD on sale in the Theatre of the Broadway cast, just so you can remember your Wicked night, as I bet you won't be able to get the brilliant original songs out of your head.  The productions biggest anthem has to be "Defying Gravity" it will cast an irresistible spell over you!
