I absolutely loved my experience at Wicked in London. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was electric. The crowd was excited, and you could really feel the anticipation in the theatre. The performances were incredible, especially the vocals, which were even more powerful live than I expected. The staging, costumes, and lighting made the whole story feel magical. One of the highlights of my day was hearing Defying Gravity performed on stage, it gave me chills and made the experience unforgettable. Overall, it was a truly memorable night that combined amazing talent, a great audience, and a story that stayed with me long after the show ended.

Great show and cast worked magic...unfortunately missed alot of the words of alot of the songs as it was very loud in alot of places....worked in some of those places but not all. Nothing to do with the show but the theatre should look at tge toilet facilities...12 minute queue for the ladies to get into the toilets at one point...obviously had an effect and apparentle they left alot to be desired on cleanliness and nasal appeal. True I don't have the answer to the problem but it is an issue to be addressed somehow, it did affect our experience on the evening.

Absolutely fantastic theatre, the attention to detail for Wicked the show but the whole theatre experience was fantastic. The most outstanding staff in any customer service role I have ever come across, nothing was too much trouble, gave helpful tips and advice, welcoming and courteous. Plenty of booster seats for smaller children too. Coped extremely well with many school trips and made sure the general public still felt important and cherished. Great experience for the entire time. Thanks for the memories.

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?

Such a fabulous day seeing 'Wicked' at Apollo Theatre in London. Tickets were easy to book through the Headout website, email confirmation explained everything clearly, and tickets were easy to access on the day of the show. My 10 year-old daughter had an epic time, and with the seats chosen, we had a fantastic view of the stage. Highly recommend, cannot fault anything. We are already looking forward to booking our next theatre visit in London via Headout!

My brother and I experienced theatre for the first time with Wicked at the Victoria Theatre in London, and it exceeded every expectation. Even knowing the story from the film, the cast managed to make me laugh, cry, and feel every moment deeply. The performances were powerful, emotional, and absolutely unforgettable. I applauded nonstop. I highly recommend this show and can’t wait to see it again.

I recently saw Wicked...and it completely exceeded my expectations. The music, vocals, and visual effects were absolutely stunning. It was also the first musical I took my boyfriend to, and he loved it so much! We both left the theatre amazed, humming the songs and talking about our favourite scenes. A magical and unforgettable experience.
