Wicked the Musical: The gravity defying alternate tale of life in Oz

Was looking forward to seeing the show, based on other reviews and listening to the soundtrack. Attended as a birthday treat on 20 November, but whilst impressed by the theatre and our seats almost in the centre of the Dress Circle, was shocked by the poor quality of the sound. The song lyrics were virtually impossible to hear clearly, and the orchestra at times seemed to be in competition with the vocalists, each trying to drown the other out. Overall a very harsh and distorted sound. Tried to email the theatre to check if they were aware of sound problems on that evening, but there is no contact email on their website. I would be interested to know if this was a one off, or if the sound quality is always so poor. Very disappointed in overall show, but on a positive would say that the lighting and other effects were excellent.

The show was spectacular but we nearly passed out from the heat. I thought the other reviews were exaggerating but honestly it was unbearable! I ended up rolling my trousers up and taking my shoes and socks off. There’s also no free water station and they were making a big deal of selling fans which sounded like they cost £10 but I’m hoping I misunderstood! I couldn’t enjoy it - dabbing tap water on my wrists in an attempt to cool down! If they’re trying to make money- turn up the AC and you’ll sell lots of hoodies!!!

The show on 1/10 was great. Unfortunately I was sitting near someone who wouldn't stop talking or playing on their phone. My family are here from Australia and we were frustrated that the staff didn't try hard enough to make sure everyone was enjoying themselves. Would see again though if had the opportunity.

We visited yesterday 15 August and although there are no negatives regarding the show the heat in the auditorium was dreadful and the over inflated prices of sweets and water was disgusting.Considering the price of the tickets I do think that improvements should be made to both areas mentioned

We went on 4th August, 7.30pm performance. I went with my daughter as a special treat. It was probably about 40 degrees in the theatre. It was unbearably hot. My daughter could not watch the show as she felt physically ill with the heat and thought she was going to faint. She had to leave.

aug 3rd 7.30 temp sky high sitting in seat u27 dress circle some sort of fan device behind me,blotting out anything on stage ,sure plenty of water was sold at an inflated price .Sure if you could have measured the temp the show would have been cancelled as unsafe.

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!

Most amazing show ever. I visited London with my family and I watched the show . I can only recommend it to everyone. The actors were amazing . I can’t describe it .

The show was decent. The theater was appalling. It was a hot day, but the theater was neither cooled nor even ventilated. Everyone around us was desperately fanning themselves and dripping with sweat. Utterly miserable. Money badly spent.
