Wicked has already sold more than 85,000 tickets at Manchester’s Palace Theatre for its autumn run and has now added two extra performances to meet demand.
The extra matinée performances are on Thursday October 31 and Thursday November 14 and are now on sale.
The strictly limited 10-week season will run from September 12 to November 16 and marks the award-winning musical’s UK regional première as part of the "Manchester Gets It First" initiative.
The engagement will be followed by a major tour of the UK and Ireland.
The London production continues its record-breaking, open-ended run at the Apollo Victoria Theatre where tickets are currently on sale until next April.
Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, it ingeniously re-imagines the stories and characters created by L Frank Baum in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and tells of the friendship between two girls who first meet as sorcery students.
