Wicked, the global musical phenomenon that has been casting its spell over audiences across the world for nearly a decade, flies into Manchester for a strictly limited run from September 2013 as the very latest Manchester Gets It First premiere at the Palace Theatre!
Brilliantly re-imagining the stories and characters created by L.
