A Tony award-winning musical about the witches from The Wizard of Oz has achieved the highest box office takings in West End history, its producers say.
Wicked took £761,000 during its eight performances at the Apollo Victoria Theatre last week, a record for a show on the London stage, they claim.
Based on Gregory Maguire's best-selling novel, it explains why one witch was good, while the other became wicked.
It has been seen by more than 130,000 people since its debut on 7 September.
