I’ve seen Wicked in several different cities and the London production was the best I’ve seen. The voices were incredible, the cast was outstanding and the entire production was amazing. The theatre itself just adds to the experience. If you’re in London, definitely put Wicked on your list. We absolutely loved it! 🎭💚

Even seated all the way in the back I was in awe the entire show. What a great first impression of the London theatre and the magnificences of the Wicked production.

Took my niece to see Wicked at the Apollo Victoria. Couldn't understand the hype. First half resembled a pantomime production attempting to fit a story into the back end of the Wizard of Oz. Then, a song from the Witch. It would not be too much to call it an aria. Control, passion, the works. Worth it for that alone. The production was not my cup of tea, it was my niece's choice, but at the curtain call I was stood for the ovation with the entire audience.

I saw Wicked on my own at the Apollo Victoria Theatre and had such a lovely experience. I was seated high up in the Dress Circle, but I could still see the entire stage clearly, so I never felt like I missed anything. The production was beautifully staged, with impressive sets, costumes, and lighting, and the cast delivered fantastic performances. The atmosphere in the theatre was wonderful, and even from my seat I felt completely immersed in the show. I would happily recommend it to anyone visiting!

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?
