Broadway Musicals Wicked

As one of the most successful and award-winning musicals on Broadway and the West End, Wicked has been staged in 14 countries, attracting more than 50 million viewers worldwide.

An international company with over 70 cast and crew members and musicians has landed in China and will tour in major Chinese cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Based on the international best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire that ingeniously re-imagines the stories and characters created by L. Frank Baum in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Wicked tells the incredible untold story of an unlikely, but profound friendship between two sorcery students.
