Wicked

You think you might know the story of The Wizard of Oz, but the Tony and Olivier Award winning musical Wicked will make you think again. Adapted from Gregory Maguire’s novel of the same name, Wicked retells the events in L Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz from the perspective of the so-called ‘wicked’ Witch of the West and Glinda the good witch. In Wicked, the story of Oz as we know it is flipped on its head, so the bad becomes good, and the good becomes an oppressive government regime. The story starts with the friendship between Elphaba the green witch and Galinda when they meet at Shiz University, where they are both new sorcery students. As they grow up, love and politics get in the way as their world heads in a much more sinister direction. Wicked is now widely considered a modern classic, with well-known numbers such as ‘Defying Gravity’ and ‘Popular’.

It was a magical night with the witches!! Absolutely flawless regarding the musically performances (solists, musicians and choire) and the dancers/acrobats. The scenery was fantastic with the green theme and the story is filled with warmth and humour. I'm not usually a fan of musicals, but this is a hit!!

Wow, Wow, Wow!- absolutely blew us all away- one of the most amazing performances I have seen in London and a fantastic first for our children aged 9 and 11. The only downside was that it was exceptionally warm in the theatre!- I would 100% go again!

I saw Wicked with my friend and our 2 nine year olds on Monday 2nd April 2018. The whole experience from arriving to the theatre to the show itself was brilliant. The story, performers, singing, music everything about this show was amazing! It is a fantastic family show and I would definately be recommending it to everyone to watch!. Thank you to the cast and all involved for this wonderful experience! I will sure to be back to watch it again!

I first saw Wicked back in 2012, when I was down for the Olympics. I decided to visit recently, partly in order to relish the fantastical atmosphere presented by the show once more, but also in order to assure myself that the magic was not simply created by the memories of a impressionable teenager. After my recent visit, I can say this with absolute confidence: The magic is real, brought to life with phenomenal aplomb by the cast, who all provided absolutely stunning performances, leaving me breathless with the power of emotions on the stage and the raw talent pulsating throughout the singing. Willemijn Verkaik, Helen Woolf, Oliver Savile and everyone else in the cast, I wish to thank you, profusely, for providing such an excellent performance, one that truly blew me away and made this birthday of mine special.

What's On

Come and be bewitched by this Tony and Olivier Award-winning musical. Wicked tells a very different tale of the witches of Oz. Lavish production design and stand-out songs such as “Popular” and “Defying Gravity” have made this one of the West End’s most popular shows since 2006. Enchanting from start to finish, Wicked is a must-see!

About the Apollo Victoria Theatre

The interiors of the Apollo Victoria Theatre are a spectacle themselves. Stunning art-deco design complimented by tasteful accent lighting that creates the effect of a secret underwater cavern. The feeling of magic begins as soon as you enter the venue!

The theatre opened as a cinema in 1930, the golden age of movie palaces. In 1981 the Apollo Victoria became a musical theatre venue with the opening of The Sound of Music. Big musical productions such as Fiddler on the Roof and Saturday Night Fever followed, until the theatre became the home of Wicked in 2006, where it has played to capacity crowds ever since.
