Leeds Grand Theatre goes on sale with the musical phenomenon WICKED tomorrow, Friday 3rd February. WICKED returns to Leeds next year, for four weeks, only from Wednesday 13 June to Saturday 7 July 2018.
“The people of Leeds and Yorkshire loved Wicked when it was here at The Grand in 2014,” says the theatre’s General Manager Ian Sime.
“We were taken aback by the queues to purchase tickets on the first day of sale, and from there it went from strength to strength. It’s a testimony to a wonderful show and an enthusiastic and committed audience; we look forward to welcoming the wonderful witches back.”
The West End and Broadway multi record-breaking production tells the story of an unlikely but profound friendship between two sorcery students and their extraordinary adventures in Oz, which will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
Based on the acclaimed, best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire that ingeniously re-imagines the stories and characters originally created by L. Frank Baum in ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’, WICKED has become a global phenomenon featuring technical wizardry, stunning costumes and show-stopping songs by three-time Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz.
Executive Producer Michael McCabe said: “We were overwhelmed by the incredible response from audiences and critics alike when we first brought Wicked to Leeds Grand Theatre in 2014, and it is extraordinary to think that over 42,000 people saw us in just four weeks. Ian Sime and his great team showed such tremendous enthusiasm and support, and we’re all really delighted to return to this stunning theatre.”
