Musicals in London's theaters are wonderful: the festive atmosphere in the air, the electric tension before the start, and the enthusiasm of the audience at the end are priceless. In addition, the show was magnificent: the scenery, lights, and costumes were splendid, not to mention, of course, the sublime voices of the lead actresses. A magical experience!!!! Thank you and see you next time!

What a fantastic show; the performers were excellent. This was my first time seeing this show as I wanted to get the memory of the films out of my head, and I am glad I eventually saw it. The stage sets and costumes were great; the singing was out of this world. It is well worth a visit and the tickets were reasonably priced.

Very beautiful and charming theater. Very centrally located. The stage sets were very beautiful. The performers were spectacular. Great singing and acting, as well as very beautiful dance routines. The costumes were beautiful and impressive.

Based on Gregory Maguire’s bestselling novel, this musical reimagines Oz before Dorothy, delivering a spellbinding experience for all ages.

A multi-award winner with 3 Tonys, 2 Oliviers, and a Grammy, it has thrilled over 13 million people across 7,000 London performances.

Themes of friendship and prejudice power a story staged with dazzling sets, lush costumes, and iconic hits like “Defying Gravity.”

Playing at the Apollo Victoria Theatre since 2006, this beloved West End staple continues to captivate audiences. Book your tickets today!

Fun fact: In April 2010, "Defying Gravity" was used as a special wake-up call for NASA astronauts aboard space shuttle mission STS-131!

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?

I loved Wicked, this was completely unforgettable. From the moment the curtain rose, the staging and lighting pulled me straight into Oz. The lead performers had incredible chemistry and vocal range, especially on the big Act One numbers, the kind of goosebumps moment that’s hard to describe!! The set design and costumes were gorgeous and clearly high-budget, and the pacing never dragged. Booking through Headout was smooth and the seats were great value for the location. If you’re on the fence about seeing this show, just go it’s absolutely worth every penny.
