Wicked- El Musical

Why watch Wicked: El Musical

Broadway's cherished musical about Oz arrives for the first time in Spain! Helmed by SOM Produce, the leading Spanish company for theatrical and live entertainment, is adding Wicked, The Musical to its star-studded past productions, which include Billy Elliot, Matilda, Grease, West Side Story, Chicago, Mamma Mia!, and The Book of Mormon. With more than 20 years in theaters around the world and more than 100 international awards, Wicked, The Musical delves into the history of Elphaba and Glinda (the "Good Witch"), drawing on Gregory Maguire's book, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. So different from each other but firmly unexpected friends, these witches' paths will take different ways and their decisions will mark their destinies forever. Featuring an unforgettable score composed by Stephen Schwartz, including iconic songs such as Popular, Defying Gravity, and For Good, Wicked, The Musical offers a visual and emotional show that explores vital aspects as identity, acceptance, and the struggle for justice. The story of these two women's strange bond, the difficulties of being unique, and the haziness of morality takes place long before Dorothy visits Oz. With a run of more than 20 years on Broadway, Wicked has earned a place among the most cherished musicals ever. Catch this worldwide hit for the first time in Madrid! Wicked is a visual and auditory extravaganza, from its elaborate costumes and gigantic sets to its spectacular special effects.
