The untold Oz tale of Elphaba and Glinda soars in the Wicked musical in London, winning 100+ awards, 19 years strong, and still defying gravity at the Apollo Victoria Theatre.

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?

Critics reviews

“Wicked won me over completely.”

– IndieLondon

The musical was absolutely amazing! The transitions between scenes were incredibly smooth and beautifully done. The singing and acting were outstanding, and there were plenty of funny moments that had the audience laughing. It's a great show for all ages. One thing to keep in mind is that the view from the last rows of the Upper Circle is quite distant, so it's difficult to see the actors' facial expressions. However, the theatre offers binoculars to rent for just £1, which definitely helps.

The voices, the costumes, the sets—everything was amazing, and everything was so easy to follow... I used to be scared of The Wizard of Oz until I saw the musical 😂. It was an awesome experience!!!

Up until now, I’d only seen German musicals, and I have to honestly say that this musical was on a whole different level. I’m absolutely thrilled with the cast. Their singing and acting skills were truly impressive. The way the entire musical was structured and staged is simply magnificent. It was definitely the highlight of my trip to London this year.

An incredible musical and definitely worth seeing! An absolute must-see if you're in London. The seats were very good, with a great view of the entire stage (first row in the balcony), though the view does depend on your height because of the railing. I’m 1.70 cm tall and had no problems.

Saw the performance in Nashville as part of the Broadway series. The performance at the Apollo was far superior The sets were amazing in ways that cannot be replicated in a traveling show. The actors were so very talented and their voices memorizing. One of the best parts of our London trip.

Excellent show. Suitable for the whole family. Since it is also for children, I would have started a little earlier. It would have been more respectful not to allow food in the hall, it also smelled and was crowded. Excellent actors. The Green Witch sang amazingly and stunningly!
