Wicked the musical announces UK tour with date near Leeds - how to get tickets, when it’s in West Yorkshire

Wicked the musical is set to embark on a brand-new tour around the UK with a date in a theatre near Leeds. From 2023 through to 2025, the award-winning musical will tour around 10 cities including the Bradford Alhambra theatre which is less than 10 miles from Leeds.

Based on the hit novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, Wicked tells the story of two unlikely university friends in the land of Oz, one destined to become Glinda The Good and the other, the Wicked Witch of the West. The musical features a score by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, with direction by Joe Mantello and choreography by Wayne Cilento.

The show is currently in its 17th year on the West End and the new tour will feature a cast and crew of over 82 people, which is yet to be announced. The tour will coincide with the filming and production of the two-part Wicked movie, which is set to premiere in 2024 and 2025.

Wicked’s UK and Ireland executive producer Michael McCabe said today: "We’re delighted to be embarking on this third tour of the UK and Ireland and taking Wicked back to ten 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."

When will the Wicked tour be in West Yorkshire?

Theatre lovers will be able to watch Wicked at Bradford Alhambra theatre on April 16 to May 19, 2024.
