Base Entertainment Asia has announced the return of “Broadway’s Biggest Blockbuster” WICKED to Singapore. The celebrated musical will open in March 2025 at the Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands.
WICKED explores the untold story of the witches of Oz long before Dorothy’s arrival. It follows the journey of two young women—one born with emerald-green skin, smart, fiery, and misunderstood, and the other, bubbly, blonde, and ambitious.
As they become rivals and eventually friends, the world labels one as “good” and the other as “wicked.” Through powerful music and dazzling performances, WICKED delves into themes of identity, acceptance, and the nature of good versus evil.
WICKED has been a global sensation for more than twenty years since its premiere, captivating more than 67 million people worldwide. It is the fourth longest-running show on Broadway.
“We are thrilled to bring WICKED back to Singapore,” says Chantal Prudhomme, Chief Executive Officer of Base Entertainment Asia.
“Based on the Broadway production, this rendition will enchant audiences with vibrant colours and breathtaking grandeur, creating an unforgettable visual feast.”
“WICKED will captivate both returning fans and newcomers alike as they embark on an unforgettable journey into the Emerald City.”
Having played in 16 countries and translated into six languages, WICKED continues to be a beloved production worldwide.
The novel Wicked by Gregory Maguire, which inspired the musical, has sold five million copies, with 4.5 million sold since the musical’s debut in 2003.
Based on Gregory Maguire’s novel, WICKED features music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman.
The production boasts musical staging by Wayne Cilento and original direction by Joe Mantello. It is produced in Australia by John Frost for Crossroads Live Australia, Marc Platt, Universal Pictures, The Araca Group, Jon B. Platt, and David Stone, and presented in Singapore by Base Entertainment Asia under the direction of CEO Chantal Prudhomme.
