WICKED CELEBRATES 20 YEARS
IN LONDON
Wicked is celebrating 20 years of
defying gravity in the West End, and
there's never been a better time to see it.
This spellbinding prequel to The Wizard
of Oz tells the untold story of the witches
of Oz, Elphaba and Glinda, long before
Dorothy ever arrived in Munchkinland.
With its iconic score, breathtaking
staging and unforgettable performances,
Wicked remains one of the most beloved
musicals of the last two decades.
To mark the occasion, celebratory
performances will take place across the
anniversary weekend. The 'Pink'
performance at 14:30 on 26 September
will honour Glinda, with every ticket
holder receiving a Wicked20
commemorative programme and an
exclusive pink-themed gift bag.
Later that day, the 'Green'
performance at 19:30 will celebrate
Elphaba, with guests receiving the
commemorative programme alongside a
green-themed gift bag.
The celebrations continue at the
14:30 performance on 27 September,
when all audience members will receive
a Wicked20 commemorative programme
and a complimentary anniversary gift
bag to mark two decades of the show.

celebratory weekend, visit the website at

Drop at the Garrick Theatre, and her solo
shows have played everywhere from the
Edinburgh Fringe to Sydney Opera
House.
Myra commented: ‘How thrilled I am
to be joining the cast of Titanique in
London’s glittering West End! I saw the
show a few weeks back and had one of
the best nights out in the theatre I’d had
in a long time; gales of laughter from
start to finish. And Ruth is the role of a
lifetime. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into
the character and give the part the
dramatique gravitas, levity, brevity and
integrity that this script is calling out
for!’
Titaníque is the hysterical musical
comedy bursting with nostalgia, nonstop laughs and killer vocals. Featuring
all your favourite Céline Dion hits,
including My Heart Will Go On, All by
Myself and To Love You More, all
backed by a sensational live band.
The show is booking until January
2027. london.titaniquemusical.com
