The West End production of WICKED, which is currently running at London’s Apollo Victoria Theatre, has announced an extension of its open-ended run up to November 2019.

WICKED is currently the 5th longest running musical currently in the West End, and next month will surpass BUDDY – THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY to become the 13th longest running West End show in history. WICKED has been seen around the world by almost 60 million people in over 130 cities.
