The moment we walked into the theatre we knew its going to be amazing. In was our first time in the West End and we were so in awe of how the whole theatre is focused on one musical, in this case Wicked. The drinks they served at the bar were also themed and very tasty and the view- i literally expected it to be so much worse, but it was great. We were almost in the last row, but we were able to see the whole show without any problems. I don't know how they build the audience but they did a good job. And the show itself- oh my god. I was a fan of Wicked for years and I can't believe that they made it feel ever more special than I imagined. Everything was just perfect.

The show is fantastic, the sets are magical, and the sound is perfect. We were seated very high up because we bought our tickets at the last minute, but we could see very well and felt as if the singers were right in front of us. We highly recommend going. The atmosphere in the theater is very nice.

Based on Gregory Maguire’s bestselling novel, Wicked reimagines Oz before Dorothy, perfect for families, friends, and anyone who loves a spellbinding musical.

A multi-award winner with 3 Tonys, 2 Oliviers, and a Grammy, Wicked has thrilled over 13 million audiences across 7,000 shows.

Friendship, identity, and prejudice power this story, staged with dazzling sets, lush costumes, and iconic songs like "Defying Gravity" and "Popular".

Playing at the Apollo Victoria Theatre since 2006, this West End staple continues to receive glowing praise. Book your tickets to the Wicked musical in London now!

Fun fact: In April 2010, "Defying Gravity" was used as a wake-up call for astronauts aboard NASA’s space shuttle mission STS-131. Astronauts’ families often pick wake-up songs, and this one was chosen to inspire the crew on day 10 of the mission.

The story

Before ruby slippers and yellow brick roads, two witches crossed paths in Oz, the blonde, beloved Glinda and the green-skinned outcast Elphaba. What begins as rivalry at Shiz University slowly becomes a powerful friendship, tested by politics, magic, and questions of morality. As loyalties shift and truths unravel, destiny pulls them toward roles history will never forget. But who truly decides who’s good and who’s wicked?

The performance was stunning: the singers, the dancers, the musicians were amazing professionals. The plot was quite difficult to understand, but that's my fault, I did not read enough before the show.

The set, visual effects, and strong performance by the cast. The story that the show is based on is well-written and does not leave any unsatisfying plotholes.
