I attended an evening performance with my 10-year-old daughter, and it was truly an unforgettable experience for both of us. As my daughter only understands French and Japanese, and had no prior knowledge of the original story, I was initially concerned that she might lose interest. However, those worries quickly disappeared once the show began. Even without understanding the English dialogue, she was completely captivated until the very end. The stage design, the music, the outstanding vocal performances, and the dynamic pacing of the production were all mesmerising. The sheer power and artistry on display made it easy to follow the emotion and story purely through the performance itself. For me, and especially for my daughter, it was a rare and precious experience that will stay with us for a long time. I can only express my deepest gratitude to everyone involved in bringing such a remarkable production to life. Thank you for creating something so extraordinary.

The show was really great. I was sitting way up high, but I could still make out a lot of the details of the set. The actors' voices are stunning, and even as a non-native speaker, you can understand a lot of the dialogue.

Great actors, wonderful music and impressive voices. I went with my 11 year old and we both loved it. A very nice mum daughter memory ! And very clear English with no strong accent so easy to follow for people like us where English is not pur first language. The photo is from before it begins since we were not supposed to film the actors. We were quite far but we had great visibility !

If you’re headed to London’s West End, seeing Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theatre is an absolute must. From the very first note, the production captures your imagination and refuses to let go. The entire cast delivers a masterclass in musical theater, with performances that are nothing short of perfection. The lead actresses bring such depth and raw emotion to their roles, making the bond between Elphaba and Glinda feel incredibly real. Their vocal ranges are breathtaking, turning every song into a show-stopping moment that resonates throughout the entire house. The technical side of the show is equally impressive. The seamless integration of music and special effects creates a world that is both magical and completely immersive. Whether it’s the dramatic lighting or the intricate stage machinery, every detail is designed to keep the audience enthralled. Watching the story unfold against such a grand backdrop is a truly riveting experience. The soaring orchestrations combined with the stunning visual spectacle make for an unforgettable evening. It is a flawless blend of storytelling, talent, and stagecraft. I cannot recommend this show highly enough—it is a "Defying Gravity" experience that lives up to every bit of the hype. Don't miss the chance to see this masterpiece live

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?

Critics reviews
