The staging is magnificent; the theater staff, lovely; the cast members, talented and incredibly kind. The performances are funny, touching, and spot-on throughout the show, the costumes are breathtaking, and it's a real feast for the eyes. And what a pleasure that no-phone policy was! I bought the program—which in itself makes for a wonderful souvenir—and was lucky enough to meet a few of the actors at the stage door after the show. Now I have an autographed program, photos with the cast, and a head full of memories!

It was a very good play. I enjoyed the hole show and even in the back i had a great view. The only thing that bothered me a little bit was that i couldnt put my coat anywhere and so the seats were a little crammed. Other than that a wonderful experience.

First time with my children and family to a London musical and we loved it. Performance was excellent, theater just like a fairy tail and the songs are still sang and listen too all the way back to Sweden. We will come back !

I was visiting London on holiday and it was my last night before I left for home in The Bahamas. I was feeling exhausted and thought to stay at my hotel and rest for my very early flight the next day. Firstly, the staff who checked my bag and helped me with printing my ticket and checking me in, were professional and courteous. The atmosphere of the theatre exuded excitement and there were an overwhelming amount of snacks to purchase, patrons like myself did not have any trouble finding our seats because staff and signage were everywhere to assist. The show was breathtaking, performance was exceptional, I cried at least 3 times, fortunately it was dark so I wasn't embarrassed (smiles) I have never seen the movie or heard the songs before, but it left me wanting more! I look forward to coming back to London for another show.

Watching Wicked in London was an absolutely incredible experience! The performance was phenomenal from start to finish, with breathtaking vocal abilities that gave me chills. Every detail was perfectly executed, from the stunning set design and gorgeous costumes to the choreography and dancing. You could truly feel the amount of talent, passion, and hard work that went into the production. I arrived a little late, and I was genuinely impressed by how kind and helpful the staff were. They made sure I could find my seat smoothly without feeling stressed or unwelcome. Another thoughtful touch was having binoculars at every seat, allowing everyone to see the performers up close and appreciate the details. An unforgettable experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone visiting London!

The show is magnificent!! The actors are perfect. We were in row W, so with the cheapest tickets, but the experience was perfect! You're comfortably seated, you have a great view, and the 2 hours and 40 minutes of the show fly by! This experience is unforgettable; we will definitely see another musical in London, it's really not to be missed! My son and I speak a little English, but everything is understandable and you just get carried away by the magic of the show. We still have stars in our eyes!! Here's one unzoomed photo so you can see what our view was like, and another zoomed in just for fun :)

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?

It was a great show and we enjoyed it very much. It was incredible, something I had never seen before. Everything was amazing, both the costumes and the actors' voices. The staging was incredible, and we had great views. It was the best musical we could have gone to on our trip to London. We left the theater very, very, very happy. We would definitely do it again.
