Wicked

A spellbinding journey to Oz

Wicked is the smash-hit musical that has been casting its magical spell over the West End for more than 14 years at the Apollo Victoria Theatre.

Ever wondered what happened before Dorothy embarked on her unforgettable journey along the Yellow Brick Road in The Wizard of Oz? Wicked, based on Gregory Maguire’s acclaimed novel, reveals the untold story of how the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good fulfilled their destinies.

Wicked follows the unlikely friendship between Shiz University’s most popular student, Glinda, and the ostracised girl with emerald green skin, Elphaba. Over the course of this inspiring musical about friendship, morality and identity, the two students begin an extraordinary adventure that changes the course of history forever.

This visually stunning musical is backed by an unforgettable score, courtesy of composer extraordinaire Stephen Schwartz, whose Academy Award-winning work includes The Prince of Egypt and Pocahontas.

Wicked tickets remain one of the most popular choices for theatregoers, young and old. Since premiering in London in 2006, this award-winning musical has sold over 9 million tickets and is guaranteed to leave you spellbound.
