Total MKs Georgina Butler continues her look back at the shows that left their mark in the new city in 2014.
In at Number 2: Wicked
If you didn’t conjure up tickets to see Wicked in February, you will be green with envy to hear I was one of the lucky theatre-goers who got to see the musical spectacular when it swept in for its Milton Keynes debut.
The untold story of the witches from L. Frank Baum’s ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ is a witty re-imagining of the unlikely but profound friendship between two sorcery students.
The magical show has broken box office records around the world since opening in 2003 and it casts its spell over Milton Keynes audiences night after night during a month-long stay.
This distinctive, green-hued saga of witchery is an all-singing, all-dancing exploration of how adolescent angst and the pursuit of popularity can conspire to shape our life choices.
A lively plot, amazing aesthetics, some hilarious lyrics and an energetic cast made for a wonderful – no, make that a “wicked” – musical.
