Such an absolute pleasure attending a performance of "Wicked" in London, and it was hands down one of the best experiences I've had. As a fan of this Broadway show, having seen it multiple times, this particular production exceeded all expectations. First and foremost, the theater itself was stunning. From the moment I stepped inside, I was in awe of its grandeur and elegance. The architecture and ambiance created the perfect setting for an enchanting evening of theater. In addition to the breathtaking theater, the overall experience was elevated by the exceptional service provided by the theater staff. The employees were friendly, attentive, and truly went the extra mile to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of the audience. Their professionalism and enthusiasm added an extra layer of excitement to the already magical atmosphere. Of course, no theater experience is complete without some tasty snacks, and the selection at the venue did not disappoint. From classic theater treats to more gourmet options, there was something for every palate. It was wonderful to have the option to indulge in delicious refreshments during intermission, further enhancing the overall experience. All in all, this particular performance of "Wicked" in London was a standout among the times I've seen the show. The combination of the beautiful theater, delightful snack options, and the exceptional service provided by the employees made it an absolutely unforgettable experience. I highly recommend catching a show at this theater if you have the opportunity. It's an absolute must for theater lovers and anyone looking to be captivated by the magic of live performances. read more

'Wicked' the musical is amazing - 'Wicked' the book is not! I am so glad I saw the musical version before reading the book as I think the book would have put me off altogether! The wonderful story or Elphelpha is told beautifully, and although you may not be familiar with the songs, they are so powerful, by the end you are moved to tears and feel sorry for the wicked witch. The whole story ties in with The Wizard of Oz, and seeing that story from a different perspective is really interesting, but even if you are not familiar with the traditional story of Oz, you won't lose the plot as the writing is excellent and the performances magical! An amazing experience, my best tip if you are on a budget is to turn up at the theatre before it opens (about 10am, check the website) be first in the queue and try and get day seats (limited to 2 per person). They are really good value and the seats are excellent. read more

I don't think this is really a show that people rave about, but I personally really enjoyed it. There is quite a lot of fantasy and fun in the show which I lapped up. What I liked most about this show was the storyline. I loved that the main character was someone who was isolated and misunderstood by the popular crowd, even though she was the one who had the most good in her and the most potential to change the world in a positive way. It was then inspiring to see her materialising her goodness and following her heart, even though the rest of her people still couldn't manage to understand that she was the real leader of them all. Some good songs, some funny moments.. though some of the script was weak, laboured and not funny in places and the acting of the wizard was pretty atrocious. But I enjoyed it nevertheless. read more

I really am not into musicals but my wife is and as it was a special birthday I tagged along. I'm glad I did as unexpectedly, I thoroughly enjoyed the show. We had brilliant seats in the stalls (m20 and m21 - I researched on theatremonkey). Having a rather short lady in front of me helped to provide an unhindered view. The story line adds another dimension to the Wizard of Oz as you find out how the straw man, tin man, scarecrow and lion were created. I'm not sure who it is playing Glinda but she regularly had me chuckling and there were plenty of laughs throughout the show. read more

Wicked has fast become one of my favourite musicals on the West End. I've seen it 3 times now, twice with Idina Menzel as the lead role. Now my aim is to save up and see it again sat on the front row. From the costumes to the set itself, everything perfectly sets the scene of being in another far away land. The dancing and music are wonderful, and guarranteed to get stuck in your head! I particularly love the little references to the Wizard of Oz that are scattered throughout. Definitely worth watching, I've introduced many friends to it and they all fell in love too. read more

Initially this show did not appeal to me enough to go and see it. However, after watching an episode of 'Ugly Betty' which featured 'Wicked', I was hooked and instantly wanted to see it. I was not disappointed. The songs are great. The story is great. And the cast are amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed this, and would highly recommend it to anyone, of any age. I really loved it, as a 17 year old, but I know that any age group would also love it. From the youngest child, to the oldest adult. A truly great show, and definitely worth watching when it is next being shown. read more

I was a bit hesitant about seeing Wicked as it is a new story and new musical and I tend to like seeing things I am familiar with. I think given it is £50+ to see it this is understandable as you don't want to blow your money. Not only did I not blow my money, this show blew me away! The sets are incredible, the special effects really good and the actors are FANTASTIC! It sent shivers down my spine. I defy anyone to see 'defying gravity' without getting prickles on their neck! I sat in the gods and the view was still superb. Highly recommended!! read more

Wicked is my favourite show by a mile! I've seen it 5 times now (yes, I'm a loser) and it's incredible! Kerry Ellis is the most talented singer in the West End (or Broadway after her recent stint there) and Dianne Pilkington who plays Glinda is hilarious in her role. The songs are catchy, the story moving, the acting/singing fantastic and the ovation that they receive every night is well deserved. It really does have it's loyal fans who go back all the time now and at £15 for weeknight performances you can see why! read more

Wer den Zauberer von Oz mag, ist in diesem Musical ganau richtig. Hier geht es um die böse Hexe, die in Wicked gar nicht so böse ist, wie sie im Zauberer von Oz dargestellt wird. Ich konnte gar nicht genug bekommen und habe mir anschließend das Buch gekauft, um noch etwas länger was davon zu haben. Als großer Musicalfan finde ich es sehr schade, daß es in Frankfurt und Umgebung keine Musicals gibt. Die nächste Stadt in der Stücke aufgeführt werden, wäre somit Stuttgardt. read more

This show is awesome. It's an enchanting and thrilling show which will keep you entertained throughout. It's far more modern than the likes of Les Mis or Phantom, there are times it's very funny and up to date, the costumes are exceptional, the cast outstanding and the music is incredible! Very clever to do a twist on Wizard of Oz and it certainly made me think about the judgements we place on others I love it, it seemed the whole audience loved it! I'll go back read more

A really great musical, which took itself from the wizard of Oz story, a real treat for all the family. Be careful when choosing your seats, i was sat up in the circle whichwere quite expensive seats and we felt like were miles away from the stage. If you can buy stalls seats,do becuae the experience will be much better for you. But a really great show allround, we waited at stage door and got loads of autographs as well. Watch and be amazed. read more

It was quite simply amazingi couldnt believe how good this production was and expecially here in london. Even the theatre when you sit down is decorated acoordingly.this show is a defo must see..i dont think there is anyone who is not impressed with this show once they have seen it! read more

I was so sceptical of this, but having been given th eoportunity for cheap tickets I went along with some friends only to have a totally fantastic evening. The sets are amazing and include a giant dragon above the stage which as the opening scene opens it's mouth and starts moving. The singing is good and the acting faultless. Really funny too, and an inventive storyline. Musical theatre at its rip-roaring best. read more

well this musical title really says it all.WICKED!...and it truely is!...the cast are great, the talent is endless and the set is really clever too!....if i had to fault anything it would be that the seats at the very back can not see a thing becasue of the size of the theatre so i would advise that you paid a little bit more to get a seat closer to the stage..! read more

I love musicals and boy was put under a spell by the enchanting musical Wicked! I went when Idena Menzel was in it and she was amazing as well as some hot stuff in the form of adam garcia. The acting is magical and the audience is taken on a broomstick ride as we learn the background of the wicked witch of the west. If you have time then you should go see read more

Welch ein Traum. Mein schönster Musicalbesuch. Erstklassiges Essemble, tolles Bühnenbild. Auch wenn das Apollotheater nicht ganz so schön gelegen ist, war der Abend ein Zauber rundum. Ich empfehle die Karten bei einen der Ticketshops in London zu kaufen, weil sie dort günstiger sind, als an der Abendkasse im Theater. Ein absoluter Muss Besuch in London. read more
