Wicked- El Musical Tickets at Nuevo Teatro Alcalá

Wicked El Musical Tickets

The record-breaking Broadway phenomenon Wicked makes its Spanish debut at Madrid's Nuevo Teatro Alcalá, bringing the untold story of the Witches of Oz to Spanish audiences for the first time. This isn't just another prequel to The Wizard of Oz. Inspired by Gregory Maguire's acclaimed novel, Wicked reimagines the lives of Elphaba and Glinda before Dorothy's legendary journey, exploring their unlikely friendship at university in the magical land of Oz.

Watch as these two extraordinary women navigate differences in character, belief and destiny. Elphaba's struggle with being different and staying true to herself contrasts sharply with Glinda's popularity, creating an emotional exploration of acceptance, morality and the complexity of good versus evil. The Spanish production features standout performances by Cristina Picos as Elphaba, Cristina Llorente as Glinda, and Lydia Fairén as Nessarose, supported by a talented ensemble cast.

Stephen Schwartz's celebrated musical score drives the story forward with unforgettable numbers including "Defying Gravity," "Popular" and "For Good." These songs will stay with you long after you leave the theatre, just as they have for millions of audience members worldwide who've made Wicked one of the most successful musicals of all time.
