OPERATION WICKED
​
Following the success of our 6th Wigle West End Trip to see Mamma Mia in July 2022 - this summer we will be returning to London to see two incredible musicals, Operation Mincemeat and Wicked!
​
Get ready for an unforgettable theatre experience with two sensational shows: Operation Mincemeat and Wicked.
​
Discover the wildly inventive, true story behind Operation Mincemeat, a brilliantly witty musical comedy set during World War II. Follow a team of unlikely intelligence officers as they hatch an outrageous plan to outwit the enemy - packed with sharp humour, clever twists, and an energetic score that brings this remarkable mission to life.
​
Then, be swept away by the magic of Wicked, the spellbinding story of the witches of Oz. Before Dorothy arrives, an unlikely friendship forms between two young women - one misunderstood, one popular - as they navigate love, identity, and destiny. Featuring breathtaking staging and iconic songs, including “Defying Gravity,” it’s a powerful tale of courage and self-discovery.
​
Together, these two shows offer the perfect blend of history, heart, comedy, and spectacle - making for a theatre trip you won’t forget.
