WICKED, the international Broadway hit musical, celebrated its Singapore premiere in December at the Grand Theater, Marina Bay Sands. WICKED is “one of the most successful shows in Broadway history” (The New York Times) and now itis Singapore’s turn to be enchanted by the award-winning musical and be part of the 30 million people worldwide who have been spellbound by this production.
When WICKED opened on Broadway, it worked its magic on critics and audiences alike. Winner of 35 major awards including a Grammy® and three Tony Awards®, WICKED is the untold story of the witches of Oz. Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz, one born with emerald green skin, is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. WICKED tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.
Currently in its 9th year on Broadway, WICKED’s North American and International companies have cumulatively grossed over US$2.5 billion. Since opening at the Gershwin Theatre on Broadway in October 2003, WICKED has regularly broken box office records, grossing more than $US1.6 million a week, and has been seen by nearly 6 million people on Broadway.
