Wicked - The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz

Wicked tells the story of what happened in the Land of Oz… but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin, who is smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possesses an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships… until the world decides to call one “good”, and the other one “wicked”.

With a thrilling score that includes the hits Defying Gravity, Popular and For Good, Wicked has been hailed by The New York Times as “the defining musical of the decade”, and by Time Magazine as “a magical Broadway musical with brains, heart, and courage.”

Celebrating its 20th year in 2023, Wicked is the winner of over 100 international awards including a Grammy Award and three Tony Awards. Wicked has been performed in over 100 cities in 16 countries around the world (U.S., Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Japan, Germany, Holland, Australia, Singapore, South Korea, The Philippines, Mexico, Brazil, Switzerland, and China) and has so far been translated into six languages: Japanese, German, Dutch, Spanish, Korean, and Portuguese.

Capital Theatre Trust and G&T Productions will celebrate the 20th year of this amazing production with a premiere season in Wellington.
