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.

You enter the theatre and immediately feel that green-pink wicked atmosphere and the curtain with the map of Oz is just amazing. My favourite moment was the end of part one where the actors are literally defying gravity..

Wonderful performance It’s a shame that latecomers were still being let in after half an hour and that the seats were arranged in a straight line, so you were out of luck if a tall person was sitting in front of you It would be better to position the seats halfway behind the front row

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.

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?

A wonderful show, with incredible sets and very talented actors who really convey the emotions of the story. The theatre is lovely, with plenty of space between the seats, which are very comfortable. The bars being so close to the stalls are very convenient, with the option to eat and drink during the show. The toilets are easy to reach and clean.
