The smash hit musical Wicked performed for its 2 millionth customer this week celebrating its West End longevity. Lucky patron Louisa Robb and her partner Craig Robinson from Newark were given special treatment as the guests of honour, and were able to pose with both of the witches after the show, resulting in the lovely photo below.

If it were me, I would ask Alexia Khadime (who plays Elphaba) just how long it takes to get that green makeup on and off every night. I wonder if she has to scrub with industrial strength soap?

Wicked was already a Broadway hit when it arrived at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in September 2006 and quickly became a sought after show on the London scene as well. In this interpretation of Oz the munchkins and Dorothy take a back seat while the story of the witches is explored.

Celebrating its 1000th performance earlier this year and heading for a birthday cake with 3 candles in September, Wicked tickets are still in high demand. Check out the superb Wicked Meal Deal on www.discounttheatre.com or buy tickets for Wicked here.
