What’s On at Apollo Victoria Theatre

Since 2006 the Victoria Palace has been the home of blockbuster Wicked musical for which the interior was elaborately redecorated to reflect the Emerald City of Oz. This imaginative prequel to The Wizard of Oz tells the story of Elphaba - destined to be the Wicked Witch of the West - and her unlikely friendship with Glinda the Good. Bright sets, stunning special effects and a story packed with fantasy make it a fantastic treat for families, but it is also a crowd-pleaser for all ages. Tickets remain a hugely popular choice for theatregoers and it is now the sixth longest-running show playing in the West End.

About the Apollo Victoria Theatre

The Apollo Victoria is one of the largest venues on the West End, with a seating capacity of 2,304. It is one of two theatres in the capital named after the Greek god of the arts; the other is the Apollo Theatre London on Shaftesbury Avenue.

It first opened as a cinema in 1930 and would host variety performances as well as films. The beautiful art deco building features horizontal banding to the exterior, iconic to the style, and was Grade II listed in 1972. In the 1950s, while still a cinema, the Apollo Victoria hosted a mix of ballet, live performances and films. In 1981 the venue reopened as a dedicated live performance theatre. A concert commemorated the occasion, with Shirley Bassey as the headline act.

The Apollo Victoria has hosted prolific musicals such as The Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, Bee Gees musical Saturday Night Fever and the long-running Starlight Express from 1984-2002.
