Wicked announces UK and Ireland tour

The iconic musical hits the road again

Author: Rhys FreemanPublished 18th Nov 2022

Producers of Wicked have announced that Wicked will be heading on a 10-city UK and Ireland tour starting next year.

The tour will begin at the Edinburgh playhouse on 7th December 2023 before visiting Bristol, Birmingham, Bradford, Southampton, Liverpool, Dublin, Sunderland, Cardiff and Manchester.

Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked tells us the story of what happened between the Witches of Oz before Dorothy came along in L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz'.

The musical continues to run at the Apollo Theatre in the West End and has already toured the UK and Ireland twice before.

Michael McCabe, Executive Producer (UK & Ireland) of Wicked, said: “We’re delighted to be embarking on this third tour of the UK & Ireland and taking Wicked back to 10 incredible theatres in England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland where sold-out audiences previously greeted us so ecstatically. We’re excited to have this opportunity to share once again the spectacle, magic and emotion that has created unforgettable memories for audiences everywhere.”

Casting for the 2023-2025 tour is to be announced.
