It is very exciting that Wicked has been honoured by the theatregoing public whose support of, and reaction to, the show has been so incredible from the outset. We are thrilled to have won four Theatregoers' Choice Awards and particularly delighted to have been named Best New Musical by such an overwhelming percentage of the vote.”
