Stephanie James, Marketing Manager at The Light, welcomes visitors: “We can’t wait for fans to lose themselves in the magic of Oz right here in Leeds, and celebrate the release of Wicked: For Good with us.

“Whether you’re cheering for Glinda or siding with Elphaba, we want Leeds to really feel the magic of the movie. And is there a better way to do that than stepping right into the Wicked world, sipping pink and green cocktails, and enjoying a little magic with friends and family? Be sure to make the most of your visit with so many eateries on site just steps away from Vue – Prezzo, Zizzi and Estabulo to name a few!”
