Description

Why experience Wicked: The Musical in Madrid?
Wicked, the record-breaking Broadway musical that has captivated audiences worldwide for over two decades, makes its highly anticipated Spanish debut at the Nuevo Teatro Alcalá in Madrid. Under the acclaimed direction of SOM Produce, known for bringing successful stage productions to Spanish audiences, Wicked joins a stellar lineup that includes favorites such as Billy Elliot, Matilda, and Chicago.

Discover the untold story of Oz.
Wicked is more than just a prequel to the beloved Wizard of Oz. Inspired by Gregory Maguire's acclaimed novel, it reimagines the lives of Elphaba and Glinda before Dorothy's legendary journey. Watch as these two extraordinary women meet at university in the magical land of Oz, their unlikely friendship tested by differences in character, beliefs, and destiny. Elphaba's struggle to be different and true to herself, in contrast to Glinda's popularity, sets the stage for an emotional exploration of acceptance, morality, and the complexities of good versus evil.

A Stunning Theatrical Spectacle
The Madrid production delivers all the visual spectacle for which Wicked is renowned. Audiences will be immersed in elaborate sets, lavish costumes, dazzling lighting, and grand special effects that vividly bring the fantastical world of Oz to life. The show is further elevated by Stephen Schwartz's celebrated musical score, featuring iconic numbers such as "Defying Gravity," "Popular," and "For Good." These songs not only propel the story forward but also leave audiences humming long after the curtain falls.

Talented Cast and Creative Team
The Spanish adaptation boasts outstanding performances from Cristina Picos as Elphaba, Cristina Llorente as Glinda, and Lydia Fairén as Nessarose, among a talented ensemble cast.
