Saw the performance in Nashville as part of the Broadway series. The performance at the Apollo was far superior The sets were amazing in ways that cannot be replicated in a traveling show. The actors were so very talented and their voices memorizing. One of the best parts of our London trip.

Insane atmosphere, the whole show is absolutely eye catching and dynamic, the stage is almost its own entity, everything is incredibly alive and colorful, brings a tear to the eye. The cast is absolutelly stunning and talented, not a single bad perfomance on stage or back stage

    • 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?

    The show is interesting, but the story is hard to follow if, like me, you don't know anything about it before coming. I found it a bit long compared to other musicals and the songs in this one. It's best to see it with kids.
