We thought the musical was very good overall. However, we sometimes had difficulties understanding the spoken passages acoustically. The volume was sometimes a little too high during the songs, so that we couldn't always understand the lyrics very well. Nevertheless, we really enjoyed the show, the stage design, the costumes and the choreography were really impressive. One small drawback was the very narrow seats with no legroom, but considering the ticket price, that was fine for us. Overall, we would definitely come again.

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 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?

What an evening! I was completely enchanted by "Wicked" 🤗in the truest sense of the word. It was clear from the very first note: this is no ordinary musical production, but a total work of art made up of music, magic and emotion. The story of Elphaba and Glinda - the "bad" and the "good" witch - is much more than a fairy tale from Oz. It tells of friendship, courage, prejudice and the desire to make the world a little bit better. The production manages to perfectly combine humor, heart and depth. The actors were simply outstanding: powerful voices, brilliant acting and an energy that captivated the audience from the first to the last minute. The chemistry between the main characters was particularly impressive - every gesture, every look was coherent and full of emotion. Wicked" is also a visual experience. The stage design is a technical marvel, rich in detail, dynamic and full of surprises. The costumes sparkle in all colors, the play of light underlines every scene perfectly, and Stephen Schwartz's music continues to echo in your head long after the final curtain. In short: "Wicked" is a masterpiece! Emotional, captivating and absolutely magical. A show that you don't just watch, but experience. For me: the best show in the world. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
