A‘ Wicked’ return
Prepare to be held spellbound once again! Lunchbox Theatrical Productions and Concertus Manila are bringing back Stephen Schwartz’s Wicked to Manila. The Broadway and West End musical phenomenon returns on Feb. 2, 2017.
The incredible original production, which is coming direct from a multi record-breaking tour of the UK and Ireland, flies into The Theatre at Solaire for a special limited engagement as part of a major international tour.
Already the 19th longest-running show in West End theater history, the London production premiered on Sept. 27, 2006 (with previews from Sept. 7) and has played 4,000 performances at the Apollo Victoria Theatre.
Set in a spectacular and colorful 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 enchantment, this magical stage musical follows their extraordinary journey from sorcery students to becoming Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West from L. Frank Baum’s beloved tale The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
I’ve seen this musical five times. It is extremely entertaining and something the whole family will definitely enjoy! Do catch it on its second Manila run. I surely will watch it again!
