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 performance was a 5. HOWEVER... Due to a few patrons that were inebriated the 2nd act could not start. One patron that I seen was removed and was yelling at us. Older woman refused to leave and after MULTIPLE workers talking to her, she still refused to leave. This took place during intermission and carried on for 45 mins. Show was to end at 1015pm. Lots of people left. Finally Show finished at 11pm. Disappointed in these patrons.

The show was one I wanted to see for a long time and the cast did not disaappoint. They were all excellent but the energy between the actors Glinda and Alphaba was on point. you could feel the friendship, the fustration of being misunderstood and the joy of finally being seen... by the most unlikely. The theatre staff were warm and helpful. Overall, it was a wonderfil experience. Thank you.

It was brilliant. Great costumes; incredible special effects and sets; the sound was amazing in particular the orchestra; and the acting, singing and dancing second to none. Loved it from beginning to end. The Apollo Victoria is a great theatre , very comfortable seating.

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?
