Wicked The Musical has been running since 2006 and follows the friendship between two witches, Glinda and Elphaba, as they complete their Sorcery studies in the Land of Oz. Industry insiders believe that the popularity of London theatre breaks is due to a number of factors that include a weak pound and people cutting back on their overseas holidays. More people are opting for ‘staycations’ through booking UK coach tours instead of European coach holidays and Worldwide escorted tours. A possible reason for the domestic market appearing so strong is because the kind of people who go to the theatre have not been badly affected by the current recession.

Wicked The Musical isn’t alone in its success, as The Lion King Musical has also broken many box office records too, ending 2010 with a fortnight of completely sold-out shows! The Lion King London took more than £34m during last year compared to the same period in 2009.
