Wicked Wins Best West End Show

Wicked the musical has scooped the Best West End show award in the WhatsOnStage.com awards

In a closely fought battle with War Horse – which was the only play nominated in this category – Wicked came out on top as the theatre-goers favourite West End show of the year.

The show is in its fourth year at London’s Apollo Victoria Theatre and has already been seen by more than 2.5 million people and taken in excess of £90 million at the UK Box Office.

Executive producer Michael McCabe commented:

It has been an incredible year for West End theatre, and the productions that made the shortlist for this special award are proof of the diversity and quality that have helped maintain London as the world leader for live entertainment.

We are therefore truly honoured that the public has chosen Wicked as London’s best West End show, and our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who voted.
