went on my own and was completely swept away into a dreamlike world for a while. From the very first moment, Wicked felt truly magical, like stepping into a living fairytale. The music, the performances, and the atmosphere made it impossible not to want to sing along and move with the rhythm. Seeing it alone somehow made the experience even more special. I could fully lose myself in the story, the emotions, and the incredible talent on stage. By the time the curtain fell, I walked out of the Victoria Theatre with a big smile on my face, feeling uplifted, inspired, and grateful for such a beautiful, unforgettable evening.

Wonderful!!! I hadn't seen the two movies yet (maybe I'm still the only one?!), so I enjoyed the show with a completely free mind and heart and without the expectation of knowing plot twists and ending. The entire cast is crazy, I loved everything! The gestures of the dancers, the costumes, and the wonderfully complex (no small feat!) and memorable music. What about the two leading ladies? "Fantastic" is reductive! Incredible voices, thrilling acting skills, I loved them right from the start. Wonderful show, thank you ♥️

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?

Beautiful Theater. V seems like every seat is good. All seats are close to cocktail sales. The music, the singing, the colorful sets, all great. And several hidden meanings too, or maybe not even that hidden. political and social discussions throughout.

I had the pleasure of seeing *Wicked* in London last Saturday, and the experience left me genuinely moved as well as delighted. From the very first moments, the production reveals an exceptional level of artistry: the leading actresses and the entire cast perform with remarkable confidence, emotional depth, and vocal excellence, fully inhabiting their roles. The live orchestra adds a powerful, immersive quality, drawing the audience into the story with warmth and intensity. The costumes are visually stunning, rich in detail and imagination, while the direction maintains a flawless rhythm, allowing the narrative to unfold with clarity and grace. The moment that touched me most was *Defying Gravity*: a truly electrifying scene, both musically and visually, that captured the emotional heart of the show and left a lasting impression. *Wicked* is a superb production—moving, polished, and utterly unforgettable.
