Oscar-winning Ghost the Musical will tour the UK
Ghost the Musical will make a return to the stage this summer, embarking on a UK tour for the first time since 2019.
The cast of Wicked have resumed performances at the West End’s Apollo Victoria Theatre with an extended group booking period until November 2022.
Tickets exclusively for groups are now on sale for all performances up until 27th November 2022 – an extended booking period of six months – with performances taking place Tuesday to Saturday evenings and matinées on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
Joining the returning cast, which tells the story of the witches of Oz, is Sophie Evans, who played Glinda from 2017-2019 and stars opposite Laura Pick who continues her performance as Elphaba. Sophie said she was “overjoyed” to have the opportunity of playing the role of Glinda again.
Wicked UK executive producer Michael McCabe said the team was pleased to welcome back so many of the cast whose time with the show was curtailed by the shutdown of the theatre industry in March 2020.
He said: “We then look forward to welcoming many new cast members at the beginning of February next year as part of our continuing journey towards widening access to the show, platforming diverse talent and establishing a more inclusive and respectful workplace.”
The production marks its 15th anniversary at the Apollo Victoria Theatre which is owned and operated by the Ambassador Theatre Group.
