History

Build in 1929 with an Art Deco style and a nautical themed interior, the Apollo Victoria opened on 15th October 1930. However, when it opened, it was called the New Victoria Cinema, showing a mixture of films and variety shows and moving into big band performances a couple of years later. In 1939, the cinema was chosen to present The Epsom Derby before closing in 1940 due to World War 2. Luckily, the building sustained minimal damage and it quickly reopened a year later.

After avoiding plans for demolition in the 1950s, and several years presenting ballet, films, and live entertainment, the theatre presented its final films in November 1975; a horror double bill of Legend of the Werewolf and Vampire Circus. 1981 marked the opening of the building as the Apollo Victoria. Productions on The Sound of Music, Camelot, and Fiddler on the Roof were all presented in the early 1980s, before the interior was heavily altered for Starlight Express. The modifications included a racetrack through the audience. Starlight Express ran for 18 years before the interior was restored and enhanced, creating the first auditorium completely lit with low power LED lights.

After productions of Bombay Dreams, Saturday Night Fever, and Movin’ Out, the theatre played host to Broadway smash hit Wicked in September 2006. The first eight performances broke ticket sale records, and in the seven years since it opened, it has grossed over £150 million.

Watched Wicked and arguably one of the best shows we have watched! Absolutely flawless performance with standing ovation at the end. The theatre is fantastic and well equipped, and is tailored / themed inside to the latest events / shows. Great bars, seating was comfortable and easy to find - and the view was great no matter where you are sitting. Highly recommend watching Wicked, even if you’re not into theatre performances - the actors are great with plenty of humour thrown in. Great venue and vibes.

This is more a reflection of the theater than the production. The production was absolutely amazing and would go watch again. Unfortunately this theater is a far cry from good. The staff allowed a larger collective group of late people in around 25 without any though or consideration 10 15 min into the start. They also was always up and down the right side of the stalls isle near the toilets not asking other people to be quite and was generally quite dissapointed.

I went to see Wicked the musical and i strongly recommend going to see it! The actors were amazing, the song entertaining with a real orchestra! The decor and costums were also incredible! And also the building in itself is beautiful! Go see this musical!

We had an amazing time watching Wicked. Seats Stalls J40 and 41 were superb. There was only one moment in the show where we couldn't see clearly what was happening rear left, so more central seats would have prevented this. At the cost we paid for slightly off-centre, very pleased.
