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?

SoloVerified bookingJul 20265/5I saw Wicked on my own at the Apollo Victoria Theatre and had such a lovely experience. I was seated high up in the Dress Circle, but I could still see the entire stage clearly, so I never felt like I missed anything. The production was beautifully staged, with impressive sets, costumes, and lighting, and the cast delivered fantastic performances. The atmosphere in the theatre was wonderful, and even from my seat I felt completely immersed in the show. I would happily recommend it to anyone visiting!JJose R
GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Magnificent. The cast is wonderful, the orchestra is impressive. It’s incredible how everything conveys so much—it gives you goosebumps every five minutes: the voices, the atmosphere, the sets, the dance numbers... It flies by even though it lasts over 2 hours (there’s an intermission between the two acts). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Coming to London and not seeing WICKED is unforgivable.AAlexandra G
