Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

Wicked is now showing at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London’s West End.  This is a huge theatre, seating almost three thousand people every performance.   It’s the usual story: green girl wants boy, boy wants yellow girl - with some animal rights stuff and zingy one liners thrown in!!  It’s a great family musical with some very catchy songs, fantastic costumes, great use of set and dancers and some very weird cast members - including a talking goat, flying monkey’s and the lead actress is bright green.

Select Travel can now offer a brand new theatre workshop for your drama groups.  It explores some of the important social themes in the show including friendship and individuality, and now also includes some musical theatre exercises to explore the shows central characters of Elphaba, Glinda and Fiyero and their relationships through some of the amazing songs from the show.  Workshops take place in the Apollo Victoria Theatre, so you don’t have to travel across town to see the show afterwards – you’re there already, saving you time and money!  Select Travel Service has great connections within the theatre industry and can offer countless possibilities and experiences to theatre-oriented groups.
