The 'Broadway Entertainment' group has unveiled the first images of the new world production of the musical 'Wicked', prior to its premiere in Dubai, from January 28 to February 15, 2026, at Dubai Opera.
The images offer a glimpse into the new and innovative version of the production. The new production features a vibrant theatrical vision, distinct visual designs, and striking new costumes, alongside the musical's famous effects and flying technologies that defy gravity, including the breathtaking scene where the witch soars over the audience in an unprecedented experience for any previous version of 'Wicked' worldwide.
This premiere marks the first staging of the musical 'Wicked' in Dubai, introducing one of the world's most successful musical productions to a new audience in the United Arab Emirates. This global artistic work has attracted over 65 million viewers in 130 cities around the world and continues to evolve with creative and innovative methods, as seen in this new production.
'Wicked' tells an extraordinary journey that takes place before the famous arrival of Dorothy in the Land of Oz. The story revolves around two distinctive young women: the first is gifted and intelligent but often suffers because of her emerald-green skin, while the second is charming, ambitious, and surrounded by admiration.
An unexpected friendship forms between the two, which quickly turns into an exciting rivalry that determines their destinies, leading one to become the Good Witch Glinda and the other the Wicked Witch of the West.
'Wicked' continues to solidify its magical artistic legacy, starting with its Grammy-winning Broadway cast recording, which achieved multi-million sales, and extending to the film adaptation starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, which grossed over $750 million and attracted over 70 million viewers worldwide.
