The show features characters originally created by L. Frank Baum in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Cast includes\u00a0 Amy Ross as Elphaba, Helen Woolf as Glinda and Aaron Sidwell as Fiyero.<\/p>\n<p>The get-in for the show is going to be brutal, with 14 articulated lorries delivering the show&#8217;s sets, costumes and props which will take a backstage team of 60 to put together over three days.<\/p>\n<p>The impressive mechanical dragon which presides over the proscenium arch has a wing span of 11 metres and will sit 7.5 metres above the on-stage action.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the show, visit:\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.WickedTheMusical.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.WickedTheMusical.co.uk\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To book tickets, visit: www.atgtickets.com\/Bristol<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We might be wrapped up with the busy Christmas season, but don&#8217;t be a seat loser to this huge hit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":31519,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bristol-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Wicked - The West End and Broadway Smash Hit Musical - Returns to The Bristol Hippodrome - Bristol News From Chopsy Bristol<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wicked-west-end-broadway-smash-hit-musical-returns-bristol-hippodrome\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Wicked - The West End and Broadway Smash Hit Musical - Returns to The Bristol Hippodrome - Bristol News From Chopsy Bristol\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We might be wrapped up with the busy Christmas season, but don&#8217;t be a seat loser to this huge hit\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wicked-west-end-broadway-smash-hit-musical-returns-bristol-hippodrome\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Bristol News From Chopsy Bristol\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/chopsybristol\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2017-12-11T11:56:31+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-10-03T13:41:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/chopsybaby.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wicked-at-Mshed-260917-60.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"333\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chopsy Baby\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ChopsyBristol\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ChopsyBristol\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chopsy Baby\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/chopsybaby.com\\\/magazine\\\/wicked-west-end-broadway-smash-hit-musical-returns-bristol-hippodrome\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/chopsybaby.com\\\/magazine\\\/wicked-west-end-broadway-smash-hit-musical-returns-bristol-hippodrome\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Chopsy Baby\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/chopsybaby.com\\\/magazine\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/fe306b4021d70f6d81c9ca9d0b50f0db\"},\"headline\":\"Wicked &#8211;
