In an announcement posted by Base Entertainment Asia, “Wicked” is slated to make its return to the Lion City, with shows set for March 2025 at the Sands Theatre in Marina Bay Sands. This marks the musical’s third staging in Singapore, following its successful runs in 2011 and 2016.

It was first performed on Broadway in 2003 and has since won numerous accolades in prestigious award-giving bodies, such as the Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, Helpmann Awards, and Drama Desk Awards, among many others.
