WICKED West End & UK Tour Casts Send 10th Anniversary Greeting All The Way To Broadway

The collective casts of international stage sensation WICKED in the UK convened to create special videos to commemorate the 10th anniversary of WICKED on Broadway and send an Oz-ian greeting across the pond.

Louise Dearman, Gina Beck and the cast of WICKED in the West End wish the Broadway company congratulations on 10 "fabulocious" years, while the UK and Ireland tour cast extend their best regards to the Broadway production in honor of this landmark anniversary, as well.

The official synopsis of WICKED is as follows: "If you think you know the Wicked Witch of the West, think again... When Dorothy famously triumphed over the Wicked Witch, we only ever heard one side of the story. Gregory Maguire's acclaimed 1995 novel, 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West', re-imagined the Land of Oz, creating a parallel universe to the familiar story written by L. Frank Baum and first published as 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz' in 1900. Wicked tells the incredible untold story of an unlikely but profound friendship between two girls who first meet as sorcery students at Shiz University: the blonde and very popular Glinda and a misunderstood green girl named Elphaba. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda's unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power while Elphaba's determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences for her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. The spectacular, multi award-winning stage musical, with music and lyrics by Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, has become "the biggest thing in musicals since The Phantom of the Opera opened" (The Times).

WICKED plays at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London's West End and is also currently on tour in the UK and Ireland.
