What's it all about?
There is simply no London theatre experience like it. The atmosphere in the audience and the action on stage are phenomenal. It’s no wonder that over five years since Wicked began, this huge theatre is full pretty much every night of the week. If and when it ever finally closes, you’ll look back on the night you visited the Apollo Victoria and know you saw a piece of theatrical history - and had one of the most memorable nights of your life.
Who's in it?
The press and pundits have lavished praise on Rachel Tucker’s Elphaba - and rightly so. This Belfast born leading lady (who you may remember from the TV talent show I’d Do Anything) has a voice that’s both blistering and tender. Honours, however, are shared with Gina Beck as Elphaba’s friend/rival Glinda. Her vocal range is amazing - as is her comic talent (watch out for 'Popular'). And when the two girls come together - wow - their show-stopping duet 'For Good' has Mums, Dads and daughters dabbing their eyes.
Suitable for
While teenage kids absolutely love this one, especially the girls, it casts its spell on parents too. Yes, Wicked is a real crowd-pleaser with spectacular special effects (flying monkeys, a smoke-breathing dragon), gorgeous costumes, catchy songs and slick dance routines but it’s also a thought-provoker. So even if you’re not a musicals fan, you’ll find a lot to like about Wicked - and maybe even something to learn about loneliness and discrimination. No wonder it has been voted Entertainment Weekly’s ”Best Musical of the Decade.”

What's the story?
You already know the two main characters from the movie, The Wizard of Oz. There’s Glinda, the good witch, and the green faced crone who gets vaporised at the end.
But Wicked is the story of their youth and how they got to be who they were. And what a surprising story it is, too. For you’re left questioning “good” and “bad” and actually rooting for the one you thought you’d come to boo. There are hints of Harry Potter in the Sorcery School setting and some fantastic, fiery special effects. But they don’t obscure what is a sometimes sad and sometimes sexy but always riveting story.
Staff Reviews
A truly amazing story - you need to know the story of The Wizard Of Oz and Wicked will answer your questions. Great music - and a real love story!
Wicked has everything you can possibly want from a musical: colourful costumes, lavish set, great characters, comedy and a fantastic score featuring show stopping numbers such as 'Defying Gravity' (guaranteed to leave you with goosebumps). I have seen this show 8 times so far and never tire of it. It is simply 'wonderful'. Is the Wicked Witch of the West actually even Wicked? Go and see it and you decide.

Customer Reviews
Have to say I was a little disappointed cannot say exactly why , perhaps some of the reviews led me to expect something very special. I did enjoy the show but not one I would wish to see again.
We really enjoyed the show thoroughly..
Absolutely fabulous, thought it might have been a bit twee but no, a fantastic night. The actors were brilliant the script and music superb. The only negative comment I would make was that I was disappointed with the number of late comers who were allowed entry and disrupted my viewing...6 times in all. However that said the whole evening was very enjoyable and to be highly recommended.
Fabulous show-the set,the sound,the atmosphere- for a grandmother daughter and two granddaughters it ticked all the boxes-amazing!
From start to finish there was plenty of excitement and we had a very enjoyable evening well worth the ticket price and a special thanks to the theatre ticket company for getting the best seats for us..
Brilliant!
