The iconic show, which has played at the Apollo Victoria since 2006, celebrated with a special party last night. The evening also saw writer Stephen Schwartz join the company for a curtain call.

With music and lyrics by Schwartz, the show is based on Gregory Maguire's novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West and is adapted for the stage by Winnie Holzman. Musical staging is by Wayne Cilento and direction by Joe Mantello.
