Wicked
Winner of a staggering 100 international accolades, including three Tony and two Olivier Awards, and based on Gregory Maguire’s series of novels, this musical is essentially an alternative take on the beloved Wizard of Oz. Except there’s a twist: the Wicked Witch of the West and the Good Witch of the North are no longer foes but, as unlikely as it may seem, friends with opposing personalities. Go figure! In English with Chinese surtitles.
