Such a wonderfully memorable experience! We sat in row L center at the Victoria Apollo Theater - not the most expensive seats but close enough to the stage to feel like we were right up front. The voices were sublime, the costumes beautiful and the stage set elaborate. Wicked is funny and eye opening at the same time. Our party of four men and women of different ages all loved it!

Based on Gregory Maguire’s novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, the musical was adapted by Winnie Holzman with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. Directed by Joe Mantello, the London production has been enchanting audiences since 2006 at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. Behind the curtain, the award-winning creative team features Susan Hilferty’s Tony-winning costumes, Eugene Lee’s scenic design, and Kenneth Posner’s lighting, all combining to deliver a spectacular stage experience. With themes of friendship, identity, and the blurred lines between good and evil, Wicked continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. The Grammy Award-winning soundtrack, stunning visuals, and critical recognition, including ten WhatsOnStage Awards for Best West End Show, ensure its legacy as a modern classic.
Storyline
Set long before Dorothy’s journey through Oz, Wicked follows Glinda, the popular blonde witch, and Elphaba, the green-skinned outcast with extraordinary powers. Their paths cross at university, where rivalry soon grows into an unexpected bond. As politics, magic, and ambition intervene, the women find themselves on diverging destinies, one celebrated as the “Good Witch” and the other feared as “Wicked.” With its exploration of prejudice, power, and personal choice, the Wicked musical in London takes audiences on an emotional journey that reveals the true story behind the legends of Oz.

Our first time visiting a theatre and i couldn't imagine a better place to do so. It was for a birthday celebration and the atmosphere made it magical. The theatre staff were extremely professional, friendly and welcoming while the performers were some of the industries best. Everything was to perfection. 10/10
