WICKED, the Broadway and West End musical phenomenon, acclaimed as “one of the greatest musicals of our time” (Daily Mail, UK) is set to cast its magical spell over Singapore audiences when it returns on 29 September 2016.
The incredible original production, which is coming direct from a multi record-breaking tour of the UK and Ireland, flies into the MasterCard Theatres, Marina Bay Sands for a special limited engagement as part of a major international tour.
Set in a spectacular and colourful fantasy world of wizards, witches, magic and spells, Wicked tells the story of an unlikely but profound friendship between a popular blonde girl called Glinda and a misunderstood, green-skinned girl named Elphaba. Filled with wonder and enchantments, this magical stage musical follows their extraordinary journey from sorcery students to becoming the iconic Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West from L. Frank Baum’s beloved tale ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’.
Wicked has music and lyrics by multi Grammy® and Academy® Award-winner Stephen Schwartz (Godspell; Disney’s Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame) and is based on the novel ‘Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West’ by Gregory Maguire and adapted for the stage by Winnie Holzman. Musical staging is by Tony® Award-winner Wayne Cilento and the production is directed by two-time Tony®Award-winner Joe Mantello.
Wicked is produced by Marc Platt, Universal Stage Productions, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone. Executive Producer (UK/International Tour) Michael McCabe. The Singapore engagement is presented by Lunchbox Theatrical Productions, Sliding Doors Entertainment and BASE Entertainment Asia.

I do regret not being able to catch Wicked when they were in Manila. My friends rave about how it’s so amazing and it’s a must see.
I guess it’s coming to the Philippines next year. Watch out for the dates…
Great! I love it and I wish I can go to Singapore for this show.
Wickedly nice play
I havent watched llay for the longest time.
Will kids enjoy this as well?
Wicked is one of my most favorite musicals of all time. I love all the songs they play and the story behind the characters.
Wow, you had a backstage tour? I went for the gala premiere but did not go for the morning preview. Regret it after reading your post!
It was indeed different experience. I felt it would be so great if can be a part of such show some day!!
It’s a wonderful show and I’m glad you had the opportunity to watch it. It’s one of the best shows that I’ve seen and they deserve all the recognition and awards!
Oh my! The attire looks so wickedly real! Must be a great show to watch!~
This is such an exciting one to witness, very interesting, from their beautiful and well designed costumes that I’m sure will rhyme to their musical world.
That looks so interesting & intriguing. I haven’t been to many theatre or such music fest. Enjoy!!
This is really a must-not missed musical. I wish we have something similar here too.
Wicked is actually coming to Manila next year! I’m so excited to catch it! 😀
Wicked was also a big hit here. I’m sure they also would have a huge following there.
Wicked is one of my favorite Plays at all time. I hope they come visit here at Philippines sooon.
Now I’m missing Marina Bay Sands! We’ve just been there for the holiday last month for a week with the family. We missed this one.
I had already seen Wicked twice. Once in Australia and one right here in Manila. It is certainly worth all the hype. Even the kids enjoyed the show. Many of the songs are so popular that you can’t help but sing along.
