NEXT MAY

WICKED is flying back into the Alhambra Theatre, Bradford for five weeks only from Tuesday 16 April to Sunday 19 May 2024. Wicked was a huge hit with audiences on its last visit in 2016, selling over 50,000 tickets across its celebrated run.

The West End and Broadway musical phenomenon, that tells the incredible untold story of the Witches of Oz, continues its open-ended run at London’s Apollo Victoria Theatre, where it has already been seen by more than 11 million people and is now in its 17th year.

Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked imagines a beguiling backstory and future possibilities to the lives of L. Frank Baum’s beloved characters from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and reveals the decisions and events that shape the destinies of two unlikely university friends on their journey to becoming Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

With a touring cast, orchestra, company and crew of 82 people, and a further 20 people employed locally, Wicked played to sold-out audiences during two previous tours of the UK & Ireland, winning the BroadwayWorld UK Award for ‘Best Touring Production’.

Adam Renton, General Manager, Bradford Theatres, said: “Hosting the international blockbuster Wicked in 2024 is another magnificent milestone in the Alhambra Theatre’s history and I am thrilled to welcome this incredible musical back to Bradford. It’s an iconic production that audiences will be very excited to see back in the region – we’re looking forward to welcoming the widest audience possible to enjoy this spectacle.”

Tickets will be on sale to Bradford Theatres Friends Members on Monday 23 January 2023 and to the general public on Monday 30 January 2023 www.bradford-theatres.co.uk
