Despite the current economic climate, the hit musical ‘Wicked’ has claimed a record in ticket sales. The show, about the loves and lives of two witches in the Land of Oz, took 1,002,885 pounds in a week – the highest in London theatre history, reports the Sky News.
Going to see Wicked in the West End represents good value for theatre fans, said Wicked”s executive producer Michael McCabe – “This is millions of pounds worth of equipment and show”.
“People are being careful with their money and they”re choosing shows they”ve heard of. They may have had a personal recommendation from a friend but it”s also value for money,” he added.
Earlier this month, it was announced that Wicked had recorded its highest ever week of ticket sales over the festive period, taking in £1,002,885 for the seven days commencing December 27th 2010.
The musical is showing at the Apollo Victoria Theatre and tells the story of the witches of Oz before they encountered Dorothy.
