Excellent storytelling with great performers The vocal abilities of the 2 main role players are exceptional, I had goosebumps. The story itself challenges you to think about how you see things and the assumptions you make. You can pre-order snacks and drinks for intermission and I suggest you do this. Warning-the queues for the ladies room were very long, so go early.

Amazing show 👏 I haven't been to the theatre for years so it was a real treat to come watch wicked with my partner whilst we visited london for the weekend! Absolutely loved it, and really enjoyed the story! The only downside which isnt the shows fault at all and i know a few around us may say the same, there were two girls talking really loudly alot of the way through and one had even filmed parts (i heard them watching on their phone after part 1) in the end, 10 minutes before the end two different people went over to them and basically told them to shut up, they got up stormed off were noisy in the back for a few minutes then im presuming were asked to leave! Such a shame people dont know theatre etiquette! But that isnt the shows fault at all, would definitely recommend-fab!

Loved every minute
Nola, 09 Sep 2023
Amazing! Better than NYC Broadway! This was my first time seeing a London show and I was blown away. The entire cast was phenomenal but I’m convinced Alexia is not from this world. Her talent is otherworldly.
Nina, 08 Sep 2023
Very good Thoroughly enjoyed the show, the costumes were incredible! Music and voices of the actors were amazing.
Kelly, 06 Sep 2023

Simon, 18 Aug 2023
Outstanding Just amazing!!!!!
Leah, 18 Aug 2023
Great Show Chose good seats for the value we could afford, i do think its very unaffordable for many people to pay the prices of shows in London. show was brilliant though, so talented singers/actors. the queue was long on entry and wasn't enough time to purchase drinks etc as we were called to our seats. Great central location and easy to get to by tube.
Diane, 14 Aug 2023
Spectacular show with fabulous special effects Spectacular show with fabulous special effects- the costumes were amazing and the acting was superb. Great theatre and loved the venue and the stage sets. Should very definitely not suitable for children - the special effects would frighten them. Pre-ordering drinks for the interval diesn't really work at this theatre- wetried it and the queue to collect was just t as long as the bar!
Siobhan, 13 Aug 2023
Beautiful costumes, superb singing and acting, such collaborative dances, flawless in every way. The entire performance was brilliant! 5 star rating for sure. I loves the singing! I was in tears! The lighting, effects, dancing, acting and the storyline were all mind blowing.
Emmalene, 11 Aug 2023
Magic This show does not disappoint. It delivers on all levels. I didn't want it to end and I didn't realize it was on for as long as it was. You're eyes are dazzled. The cast was funny, emotional, energetic and sounded incredible. Bravo bravo 👏👏👏
Rosalind, 10 Aug 2023

Leslie, 01 Aug 2023
Incredible Ensure you take your bank card as it’s all cashless.
Deborah, 23 Jul 2023
Great entertainment. Really enjoyed a terrific performance, acting, staging etc were excellent.
Paul, 23 Jul 2023
Decennial Event I watched Wicked in NYC when I was super pregnant and super sleepy after 7pm with my dad and husband. They enjoyed, but I passed out in the seat while my baby jumping in my belly.
Tonight,
My baby was sitting next to me and he enjoyed Wicked while holding his little brother’s hand.
Priceless experience
Amazing songs
Goosebumps with happiness
I felt like I was pregnant again LOL
SeongRyong, 23 Jul 2023
Incredible! Amazing !! The voices of the two stars was absolutely incredible. The actor portraying the “Wicked Witch of the West” was beyond spectacular. Her voice is of the caliber with Whitney Houston or Beyoncé. We were blown away!’
Janele, 22 Jul 2023
A great evening out, with spectacular effects and music. My Ukraine visitors watched the show and loved every minute. Two of them knew very little English, but they were told the story by an interpreter and thoroughly enjoyed the whole spectacle.
pamela, 19 Jul 2023
Wicked review Good show. Worth seeing.
Jan, 19 Jul 2023

My Favourite Absolutely incredible from start to finish!
Katie, 16 Jul 2023
Great Acting and music great. Costumes amazing.
Steve, 15 Jul 2023
Incredible The acting, costumes, stage decorations, story and incredible voices creates an unexplainably amazing experience that can lead to tears. A must see at least once.
Martyna, 02 Jul 2023
10/10 The show was fabulous! We had great views, the acting and the singing was mesmerizing.
Took my brother and my mom for the first time. They absolutely loved it.
Claudia, 30 Jun 2023
Fantastic show Thoroughly enjoyed Wicked! Suitable for families and theatre fans of all ages. The cast were excellent, I could have listened to them sing for longer. Would recommend, you’ll have a great night!
Carys, 29 Jun 2023
First live show Took my wife to see wicked. It was the first time for me at a live theatre show and was totally blown away. Couldn’t recommend it more.
Mark, 18 Jun 2023
Wicked was wicked We brought our boys aged 10 & 7, they were glued to every scene. The theater was full air conditioned and so comfortable. There were no queues. Everything about the night was seamless.
Odette, 18 Jun 2023
Underwhelming As frequent visitors to see musicals and being, were looking forward to seeing this show. Unfortunately, although the acting, scenery and singing are of high quality, we found the storyline completely underwhelming to the extent we were so bored we left at half time. This is a show for children, who were thoroughly enjoying themselves. Perhaps it should come with a proviso of being more more suitable for families!
Pat, 15 Jun 2023
Stunning Absolutely stunning show from start to finish.
Stephanie, 14 Jun 2023
Mesmerising Amazing theatre,so easy to get to.
Friendly welcoming staff and ready to answer questions.
The production was mesmerising, I've watched it 3 times and it always has me immersed
Natasha, 04 Jun 2023
Brilliant Voices where amazing, story was great would recommend highly
Cari-ann, 31 May 2023
Worth seeing multiple times - addictive My daughter and I are both from Australia travelling separately and found this one week where we were both in London. The show was spectacular and we would recommend it to anyone. We attended the Wednesday matinee which had multiple school groups- unfortunately sone of the teen attendees directly in front of us had no interest in the show. Their loss!
Maggie, 24 May 2023
A beautiful spin on a classic tale Even more than the original musical, this story plays on the heartstrings. Beautiful.
Liesbeth, 16 May 2023
Exceeded Expectations! Such an incredible experience, I knew that it would be good but did not realise HOW good it would be.
The overall sound of the performance was top notch, the story was conveyed really well and the singing was out of this world!
Will definitely recommend to friends and family as it was genuinely an incredible show to watch.
Matthew, 15 May 2023
Not bad Great seats with a fantastic view. Found the show had lots of singing even for a musical, felt as if it was more suited for family’s and children. Music was very loud at times.
Lauren, 14 May 2023
Spectacular West End theatre spectacular.
Tony, 10 May 2023
Full of energy, captivating from start to finish The show was fantastic, singing was amazing, loved the humour.
Was suitable for all ages. Was totally Wicked
Margaret, 01 May 2023
Wicked Absolutely loved it even cried a little. Fantastic well done to all the cast ....
Jeanette, 29 Apr 2023
Loved it! I took my daughter with a few of her friends all 13/14 years with another mum and my own mum we all loved it the kids have never sat so still just watching the show mesmerised by the singing, dancing and acting absolutely brilliant show highly recommended!!
Charlotte, 29 Apr 2023
Fantastic show Well worth the visit. Show was wonderful.
Joanne, 26 Apr 2023
Enjoyable. We are in the 75/80 bracket. 98% of the audience were in the 16/35 age group. Not that it mattered.i
I loved it and there wasnt anyone sitting at the end. Everyone gave a standing ovation, never seen so many standing at a Musical and Ive been to a few.
Sheila, 19 Apr 2023
Well Wicked!! Great music, powerful singing. An all round great show
Elaine, 19 Apr 2023
Wicked 18th of april 2023 J'ai eu l'impression que le son n'était pas bien réglé.

Elisabeth, 09 Apr 2023
Amazing Cast fantastic, fantastic atmosphere 😁 had a lovely birthday 🎂🎈
Tracy, 30 Mar 2023
Good News! A must see! The production including lighting, set and costume design is outstanding! The singing performance including solos and duets are to a high standard representing a variety of musical styles. The story is excellent with particular relevance for young adults exploring themes of identity, diversity and inclusion. All in all, a very enjoyable experience. I highly recommend it!
Wendy, 30 Mar 2023
Amazing Loved the show. Fabulous special eggeyand beautiful singing
Mary, 25 Mar 2023
Must see show I found this show to be very engaging and it threw you into the world of Oz and the characters lives
Elizabeth, 18 Mar 2023
Colourful, fantastic songs and a brilliant story Costumes were exceptional, and the music was fantastic - albeit at certain times this drowned out the voices, particularly 'Glinda's'.
Sadly latecomers were allowed in 20 mins in, disturbing my mother and I, obscuring our view which was only exaggerated by the steward's attempts to sneak them in subtly. As such, the second half was much stronger than the first. Overall - 7.5/10.
Matthew, 16 Mar 2023
Must see!!! Don’t miss this show. One of the best I have ever seen. GO NOW.
David, 16 Mar 2023
Incredible show The cast were incredible. Singing was amazing. The set and costumes were so colourful and exciting. The whole show was wonderful. Would go back again and again. Some restriction on my view. But we were so close to the stage and felt the magic.
Vicky, 16 Mar 2023
Disappointed This show is associated with a lot of hype, but it failed to excite two experienced 60+ theatre goers. It is clearly targeting younger viewers. The story was hard to follow because we couldn't hear the words in the songs at all and were only a little wiser when there was any spoken words. A lavish spectacular production, but let down by average songs which all sounded alike and unclear lyrics. However I do feel we were in the minority (apart from the young couple in front of us who left with half an hour to go)
Trevor, 15 Mar 2023
A must see to believe. It was very well produced, excellent entertainment. Would love to see it again.
Trevina, 11 Mar 2023
Unforgettable experience The storyline is cleverly developed between the two sisters. There are an array of emotions expressed and the dialogue is easy to understand. Great energy and passionate performances.
Loved it and would see it again.
Katherine, 05 Mar 2023
I’ve seen most musicals… this is the best I am a frequent theatre goer and have my reservations about many. Haven’t got a single bad word to say against this musical - mainly thanks to Lucy who portrayed Elphaba in the most perfect way. Vocally, I can’t fault - and would go as far as to say that she is one of the best female vocalists I’ve seen in musical theatre as of yet. Her acting is 10/10 too; so likeable, hilarious and an all round perfect actress. The lady who played Glinda was just as perfect. Her likeability was my favourite part. She has a very tricky character to portray in my opinion - she’s done it amazingly well. You can’t help but adore her and her quite blatant stupidity. Solid laughs from the audience and vocally she could outsing Mariah Carey. She is phenomenal. Not a bad word to say about my entire experience. Everything was 10/10!!
Stephen, 26 Feb 2023
Creative, get on your broom and go to see it Excellent story. A good spin on known characters, challenging your prejudices. Theatre is a lovely old fashioned one, just try not to visit the dress circle ladies room in the interval as an extensive queue.
Helen, 26 Feb 2023
Captivating! What we liked :
- the singing was amazing
- the set had so many elements and yet the changes were seamless, the set itself was brilliant and magical. very well designed.
- the plot is relevant and has an interesting take on the two witches of Oz. Thankfully, there was no unnecessary drama or confusion between the characters which can be irritating or frustrating for the audience.
- Realistic character developments.
- An absolute pleasure and unbelievable experience for musical and wizard of oz lovers alike! Will be a fond memory for us forevaaaa!!
- the entire apollo theatre flaunted the wicked theme - green highlights, green seats, green binoc
What could be improved (sorry - we love criticising things)
- The dance could be more impactful.
- For A FEW parts we wished there could be subtitles (obvs that's not possible) because the dialogues lacked clarity and we had discern what was going on. Doesn't make a huge difference but eh just gonna put it out there
- some songs could be better-written.
Amiraah, 25 Feb 2023
Loud and proud A simple story well executed but rather loud in places, the band outdo the actors so not well balanced as the sound team appear to turn up the volume to compensate.
Bernadette, 25 Feb 2023
Lovely evening Reasonably priced tickets for a lovely show. My friend and I took our children (ages 5 & 7) to their first London musical. The children loved the music and costumes but were a little scared of the wizard and the monkeys. The singing was wonderful but the story felt a bit weak, especially the talking animal part, which felt a bit unsubstantial. We also expected a more dramatic finale. Probably wouldn’t go to see it again but we did enjoy it.
Charlotte, 16 Feb 2023
A show worth watching A very good show that will appeal to everyone
Eat and drink before hand.
Prices are over the top.
Queues for toilets are long at the interval
The show is eccellant.
Simon, 04 Feb 2023
Fantastic Singing and orchestration was brilliant. Clever plot. Nothing to find fault with. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would go again.
Sandra, 02 Feb 2023
Magnificent The best show in town , at times difficult to hear the singing words
Sean, 28 Jan 2023
Birthday treat The show had many great musical numbers. Especially Defying Gravity. The theatre was excellent with many food and drink offerings to enjoy during the performance.
Definitely one to watch again!
Gregory, 21 Jan 2023
More singing than story 2 hours plus of non stop singing and trying to follow the story which was hardly spellbinding. Great performance. Needs to be re-directed and re-imagined.
Aydin, 20 Jan 2023
Amazing Great show for family or partner. Great effects and surprises. If you like the wizard of Oz, you are gonna love this.
pedro, 13 Jan 2023
Great Performance and Theatre Loved the show and the theatre was well designed - bathrooms inside the theatre, good beverage/food service, comfortable chairs, good sound system.
Carmen, 10 Jan 2023
A Family Friendly Show- Amazing For All Ages!! The show was amazing! I got tickets for Christmas and have been looking forward to it and the show definitely exceeded my expectations! The leg room is a bit tight so if you need extra I would say to book an aisle seat! Other than that it was amazing!
Emma, 08 Jan 2023
Delightful night out When I was little Wicked was my everything, returning to my roots and seeing it again was more magical than the first time! You can tell the cast is truly happy doing what they love and it was the best time I’ve had!
Lillian, 04 Jan 2023
Wicked was wicked Went as a family and everyone had a wonderfully wicked time
Rita, 24 Dec 2022
Great performance but plain story Great performance but plain story
Chul, 23 Dec 2022
It brought tears to my eyes!! This was my fourth time seeing Wicked. It gets better every time!! Well done to all involved, particularly in what is a very busy week for you. It was absolutely perfect!! Loved every second of it! Can’t wait to go again!!
Roisin, 21 Dec 2022
Boring Panto I found it really boring. It should be aimed at small children and some humour put in it.
Allison, 21 Dec 2022
Mesmerising First show I've ever watched and I was transfixed. The costumes ,and lighting were truly amazing.
And the power behind the voices of the two leading ladies was mesmerising.
barbara, 17 Dec 2022
amazing For us it was the first musical we have seen in a London and it was
perfect
DIANA, 16 Dec 2022
High quality theatre Elphaba's actor had a phenomenal voice and really stole the show, she brought me to tears at one point! This was. my first time seeing wicked live and an experience I hope I'll never forget. 10/10!
Kate, 14 Dec 2022
The BEST musical I have ever seen Hands down the best musical I have been to see. The vocals were outstanding, I had goosebumps and was in tears by the end. The costumes were amazing. I definitely see it again and recommend it to everyone. I would say it's not suitable for younger children, as I know my own would have been frightened during some parts, especially the very life-like dragon.
Elisa, 06 Dec 2022
Disappointing, boring musical A boring, not engaging story (only couples of laughs from the audience). Couldn't understand 90% of the words sung - but anyway the plot was irrelevant. We thought of leaving half way. No idea why it is so hyped up. Sure, the costumes are nice, the stage and lighting is amazing but it was just boring and unintelligible. It's loud and flashy but sort of rubbish... See Book of Mormon instead.
Tabea, 04 Dec 2022
disappointing Over mall disappointing show with music incredibly uninspiring. Not one single song to remember. Way too loud singing almost shouting all the time.
Costumes and stage were amazing on the other hand.
Probably catered for 8-12 years old except it’s way too long…
ghislain, 04 Dec 2022
Poor storyline Great stage set, costumes and talented actors but let down by a poor storyline. Just my opinion, obviously plenty of other people love this show.
Oliver, 04 Dec 2022
Great show, thoroughly enjoyable evening Loved the show, had a really great evening would definitely recommend.
Joanne, 27 Nov 2022
Amazing cast everything was fantastic I loved the show & would recommend it to mist people my grand daughter 18 & my oldest daughter thought it was all fabulous
Janice, 26 Nov 2022
fab excellent show
vanessa, 20 Nov 2022
14 x seeing WICKED and wasn’t disappointed! LOVED it! Favourite musical. Only observation is that diversity within the cast was lacking, would be nice to see more representation of race.
Paul Andrew, 18 Nov 2022
Defying gravity is wicked If you go to the matinee show bear in mind there are likely to be more children there and they may be inquisitive and ask questions during the performance.
Dean, 02 Nov 2022
