Wicked The Musical

Book Wicked tickets in London

Wicked is the long-running West End musical at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, telling the untold story of the witches of Oz before Dorothy arrives. Elphaba and Glinda meet at Shiz University, then follow very different paths through friendship, power and the meaning of being wicked. Choose your date and official seats on the Wicked tickets page.

Based on Gregory Maguire novel and the L. Frank Baum world, the show has music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman. It has been playing in London since 2006 and remains one of the most booked West End musicals on British Theatre.

What a night at Wicked feels like

Plan for about 2 hours and 45 minutes, including one twenty-minute interval. Use the break to stretch, get a drink and reset before Defying Gravity lands in act one and the story deepens in act two. The Apollo Victoria Theatre sits by Victoria Station, so Tube and mainline links are straightforward, with plenty of places to eat nearby before curtain. Arrive early: latecomers are admitted only at a suitable break, and the opening scenes set up Elphaba and Glinda at pace.
