If you are looking to make your weekend truly unforgettable, immerse yourself in the spellbinding world of Wicked The Musical at London’s magnificent Apollo Victoria Theatre. Since its grand West End debut in 2006, this blockbuster production has captivated millions, earning prestigious accolades including the Laurence Olivier Award for Most Popular Show and the Whatsonstage.com Award for Best West End Show.
The Untold Story of Oz
Wicked offers an enchanting, unexpected look at friendship, prejudice, and reconciliation. Based on the classic characters we all know, the story flips the script on The Wizard of Oz, telling the tale from the perspective of Elphaba, the misunderstood Wicked Witch of the West. Audiences get a front-row seat to her complex childhood, her deep bond with her sister, and the true history behind those famous silver shoes that Dorothy later claims.
Brought to life by an unforgettable score from legendary American composer Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin), the show delivers a powerful theatrical experience.
A Star-Studded Cast
The production sees the spectacular return of Rachel Tucker, reprising her acclaimed role as Elphaba straight from Broadway. Joining her on stage is Australian star Suzie Mathers as the bubbly Glinda, alongside Anita Dobson as Madame Morrible and fan-favorite Oliver Savile as Fiyero.
Good to know: The show runs for 2 hours and 45 minutes and is highly recommended for children aged 8 and above.
