Visit: Wicked, 17 Wilton Road Apollo Victoria Theatre, London SW1V 1LG England
Travel independently to the Apollo Victoria Theatre in central London and settle down to enjoy Wicked The Musical, a mind-boggling extravaganza that’s been entertaining audiences since it opened in London in 2006. Based on the best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire that served as a prequel to L. Frank Baum’s classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, this magical show tells of the friendship between two very different student witches — Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North — and sets it to show-stopping songs by Stephen Schwartz. Brought to life by incredible Tony award-winning sets, dazzling costumes and high-flying stunts, this magical adventure will entrance adults and children alike.

Just buy your tickets directly from Theatre people. You don't even see what seats you get until you've paid. Then they turn out to be rubbish and you can't refund. Not only that, you've paid almost double than what you can actually pay for them directly. They rip you off.
The musical itself was great and funny.

We enjoyed the show. Cues were not as bad as we thought especially for drinks. My only issue was a man who was very tall sitting in front of me and I had to keep ducking around him

This activity does not specify the theater location until the purchase is completed, the play is in 2 theaters in different cities and the supplier does not have changes or refunds, I feel very upset since we lost more than $7,000 on 4 tickets that we bought thinking that the play It was in New York, it turned out that the London theater also offers the same play

Lighting, stage management, musicans, automation : great.
Area to improve: sound
The sound depatment needs to re-evaluate their approach.
It is unfortunate that the sound mixer has to follow a mixing approach dictated by a sound designer whose approach is to minimise feedback at all cost.
The equalisation on vocals sounded too muffled.(difficult to understand words).
Not sure whether mic placement and/or eq is the problem.
Overall levels were too low (probably due to regulations)...
Music in the pit sounded muffled and very quiet as if musicians were playing backstage.
It seems that the EQ and individual dynamics have been set up to sound good for one or two big moments in the musical and left untouched for the rest.
The PA system was too small for the venue and no center channel for the vocals.
I understand the limitations and the need to produce a safe show but it was below my expectations.

Brilliant theater and fabulous cast. This was my 4th time seeing Wicked and my first in London. Head to toe green throughout the theater making for a superior OZ vibe. Don't think twice, get tickets!

I bought my girlfriend and I tickets for her Christmas present and she loved it so much being a musical fan. The music was amazing, the set design was great. My favourite part was when they first brought in the wizard. However I'm not sure if im a bit slow but I struggled to understand the storyline till about the second half of the show which made me not enjoy it as much. If i go again I can agree that my opinion would be different since I know what to expect.
this review is based on the Melbourne Australia show. Its the same production as what is in London/New york etc

Saw this show after buying tickets in Leicester Square that afternoon.
We very much enjoyed it, although we weren't sure what to expect. Theatre staff were friendly. Music and singing were fantastic. Great way to spend the evening.

Amazing. I don’t normally like musicals but the show was just amazing. Really enjoyed it. Would defiantly recommend if visiting London.

Weak storyline, all the songs sounded the same. Set dark and bland.
The performers were very talented and costumes were beautiful.
Considering what we paid, it was a disappointment. Better shows in my local theatre at a fraction of the price.
Not comparable to west end classics; Lion King, Phantom, Jersey Boys, My Fair Lady. Spend your money elsewhere.

After reading some of the recent reviews, I was somewhat apprehensive about going to see Wicked and was fully expecting to see something awful. My son wanted to see it rather than Matilda and I was bracing myself for something terrible. I was however very pleasantly surprised and enjoyed every minute. I went with my husband and son (aged 10) and we know the story of the Wizard of Oz very well which definitely helped as I can imagine it might be a bit confusing if you don’t. We sat in the dress circle and had no issues with the sound levels or voice clarity. The singing and acting was great as were the visual effects. An unexpectedly great show and a fantastic night out for all three of us.
