The smash hit musical Wicked is coming to the Bristol Hippodrome next year as part of its 2024 UK tour. Telling the backstory of the iconic Wizard of Oz witches, and based on the acclaimed novel by Gregory Maguire, the show has broken many box-office records around the world, and it's currently the 12th longest running show in West End history.
It has won more than 100 major international theatre awards, including three Tonys, two Oliviers, and a Grammy among others. Next year is going to be another big year for Wicked, as the first part of a two-part film adaptation - starring Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Jonathan Bailey - is set for release on Christmas Day in 2024.
And, here in Bristol, we'll be able to see the award-winning musical at the Hippodrome, the second stop on its 2024 UK tour. Here's all you need to know about dates, times, tickets and prices, so you don't miss out...
