Working at Show and Stay has it’s perks - I recently took advantage of our wicked Wicked offer and went to see, yep you guessed it, ‘Wicked’. And it’s pretty darn good. I wasn’t sure if it was going to live up to all the hype, but it does. The effects are truly spectacular and the cast are faultless. I was really looking forward to seeing Corrie’s Susie Blake as Madame Morrible and she didn’t disappoint. It’s a pretty big jump from soap to stage but she manages it well.

Just in case you’ve been living in a cave for the the last year, ‘Wicked’ is based on Gregory Maguire’s novel and provides a backstory to ‘The Wizard of Oz’. The story focusses on unlikely friendship between Glinda and Elphaba and how one becomes the Good Witch of the North and one grows up into the Wicked Witch of the West. Add fantastic music and mind-boggling special effects to that and that’s ‘Wicked’ in a nutshell…
