Storyline
Wicked is the story of two witches, Glinda and Elphaba, who later in life play crucial roles in the story of Wizard of Oz as the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch respectively. The story begins with the two starting their education at Shiz University. While an unlikely bond forms between the two drastically different individuals, the many trials they face, a pesky love triangle, and varying reactions to the corrupt Wizard force them to eventually grow apart and accept their opposing roles in the world. The heart of the story lies in Elphaba’s transformation into the Wicked Witch despite her good intentions.

The Apollo Victoria Theatre first opened in 1930 as a cinema. The cinema was converted into a musical theater venue in 1981 with the opening of The Sound of Music. This was followed by many other massive musical productions including Saturday Night Fever and Fiddler on the Roof. In 2006, the Apollo Victoria became the home of Wicked where it has played ever since. The interiors of the Apollo Victoria Theatre feature a beautiful art-deco design complimented by subtle accent lighting to create the effect of a secret underwater cavern.

The booking experience was both quick and easy. One suggestion is that if you use the underground to Victoria which exit to use from the station as we chose the wrong one and it took some time to find the theatre.

Wicked was an absolutely magical experience from start to finish. The view of the stage was excellent, offering a perfect vantage point to take in the stunning visuals (for reference we were seated in Row C, seat 22 and 23). The lighting and special effects were genuinely breathtaking, adding real depth and drama to the performance. The cast was exceptional – their vocals were powerful and moving, and the acting and dancing brought such emotion and energy with every moment. The entire production felt polished and was incredibly immersive. The venue itself was clean and well-kept, with spotless facilities and a welcoming atmosphere. The themed drinks were a fun touch, and they were delicious, and the bar service was impressively quick too - we were able to get another round of drinks during the interval. It was an unforgettable night that completely lived up to the hype.
