See ‘Wicked’ in the West End in 2026 - Exclusive Free & Discounted Tickets for Your School

We at theatre works! are thrilled to be given an extraordinary opportunity for schools to experience the spellbinding West End musical, Wicked; a story of friendship, courage, and a chance to see things from a new perspective. We have hundreds of free and discounted tickets for performances from 1 January 2026.

Our mission is to make theatre more accessible to all. We can provide grants of up to £2,000 for schools to use for tickets,  transport, and related educational experiences. This unique offer allows students aged 7-16 for schools with at least 40% students receiving Free School Meals (Pupil Premium) or at least 25% SEND, to step into Oz.

To enrich this experience, students can participate in a Q&A session with the cast and company of Wicked, on Wednesdays following the 2:30 PM matinee performance. This session provides a rare, behind-the-scenes look at professional theatre and a meaningful opportunity for students to engage directly with the actors and wider company, learning about their journeys and the world of theatre.
