Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz has become one of the most successful musicals of all time.
The West End production and North American tour have been seen by over 2 million people (you could say the show defies gravity).
The musical is told from the perspective of Glinda, the good witch, and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch whom, it appears, is killed by Dorothy throwing water on her near the end of The Wizard of Oz.
At this present time, the show holds weekly box office records in Los Angeles, St. Louis, Chicago and London.
