Top 5 theatre shows to see this Easter

Wicked

This gravity-defying show takes audiences back to the land of Oz, far beyond the yellow brick road. Wicked is a prequel to the classic tale of The Wizard of Oz and follows the story of two improbable friends, who end up teaching each other a serious life lesson or two - Elphaba, the misunderstood misfit, and Glinda, the popular blonde beauty, find themselves caught in themes of friendship, love, and the power of perception, all set to the beat of some of the most iconic modern classics in theatre. Wicked has been a favourite among audiences for over 15 years, and it’s easy to see why - currently starring Alexia Khadime as Elphaba and Lucy St. Louis as Glinda, this musical will have your heart melting (and not with water).

Heathers The Musical

Bitter but sweet - Heathers The Musical is the dark chocolate egg of the basket. Based on the 1988 cult classic film, Heathers tells the story of high school students Veronica and JD, as they navigate the dangerous world of teenage social hierarchies. This murderous affair is a biting satire that pops with colour, all while tackling issues of bullying, teen suicide - and even gun violence. But it’s not all doom and gloom - the show is also filled with catchy songs and equally hilarious moments. Maybe being popular isn’t all that it's made out to be.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

In 2016 the world of Harry Potter cracked open a new chapter and introduced us to the next generation of Wizards and Witches.
