About the show
Discover the untold story of the Witches of Oz at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. This multi-award-winning musical reveals what happened before Dorothy arrived, exploring the unlikely friendship between Elphaba and Glinda. Now in its 20th year, Wicked features spectacular staging and unforgettable songs including 'Defying Gravity'.
在阿波罗维多利亚剧院，探索《奥兹女巫》的不为人知的故事。这部屡获殊荣的音乐剧揭示了多萝西到来之前的情节，讲述了埃尔法巴和格琳达之间意想不到的友谊。现已演出到第20年，《女巫前传》呈现了壮观的舞台效果和令人难忘的歌曲，包括《挑战引力》。
改编自格雷戈里·马奎尔备受赞誉的小说，《魔法坏女巫》展现了《绿野仙踪》背后鲜为人知的故事。早在多萝西到达之前，两位年轻女子在希兹大学相遇：加琳达，一个受人欢迎且雄心勃勃的金发女孩；还有艾尔法巴，一个被误解的绿皮肤女孩，拥有超凡能力。她们不太可能的友谊将永远改变她们的生活，一位注定成为善良的女巫格琳达，另一位将成为西方坏女巫。但我们被告知的坏女巫真的那么坏吗？
《魔法坏女巫》于2006年9月在阿波罗维多利亚剧院首演，如今已进入第20个辉煌年头。该剧于2024年11月庆祝了其伦敦第7,000场演出。已有超过1300万人仅在伦敦观看过该剧，《魔法坏女巫》是西区历史上第九长寿的作品。
斯蒂芬·施瓦茨的出色乐谱包括引人入胜的《挑战引力》（Defying Gravity），友谊之歌《为了好》（For Good），搞笑的《受欢迎》（Popular），还有《魔法师与我》（The Wizard and I），《舞过人生》（Dancing Through Life），以及激动人心的《行善无功》（No Good Deed）。音乐赢得了格莱美奖，并以其情感深度和戏剧奇才继续吸引观众。
舞台制作提供了无法在电影中复制的剧场魔力。在阿波罗维多利亚剧院观看艾尔法巴在《挑战引力》中凌空飞起是现场表演独特的惊人体验。由辛西娅·艾里沃和爱莉安娜·格兰德主演的电影（2024-2025年上映）让数百万人了解了这个故事，但舞台剧仍然是《魔法坏女巫》的权威体验。
为了充分感受《挑战引力》的冲击力，当艾尔法巴在舞台上空飞起时，Stalls和Dress Circle是最佳观察点。中心座位提供了对该剧壮观布景效果的最佳视野，包括在舞台上方悬挂的大型机械龙。阿波罗维多利亚剧院是一个大型场馆，因此如果您重视看到面部表情，考虑靠近舞台的座位。
这两部都是壮观的西区音乐剧，但它们提供了不同的体验。《剧院魅影》是充满古典乐的哥特式爱情故事，而《魔法坏女巫》是一部现代幻想作品，具有流行音乐影响力。魅影吸引古典音乐剧的爱好者，而《魔法坏女巫》则常常与那些喜爱女性友谊和赋权故事的人产生共鸣。
《女巫》推荐7岁及以上的儿童观看。5岁以下的儿童将不允许进入阿波罗维多利亚剧院。该剧包含戏剧性的时刻、舞台飞行效果以及关于社会排斥的主题，这些可能对于年幼的孩子来说过于激烈或难以理解。
是的！《女巫》展现了西区最为壮观的时刻之一，即爱尔法巴在《挑战引力》中的飞行。此剧还包括戏剧性的灯光、烟雾效果、巨大的动画龙以及令人惊叹的舞台变换。
所有15岁或以下的观众在观看《Wicked》于Apollo Victoria Theatre时，必须与一名年满18岁以上的成年人一起就座。所有入场人员，无论年龄大小，均需持有自己的门票。
迟到的观众只能在演出的合适间隙，也就是大约开场25分钟后进入剧场。因为无法提供退款或换票，我们建议所有观众提前到达。
是的，Apollo Victoria Theatre在场馆内均采用无现金支付。剧院内不能存放大型行李 - 附近有外部行李寄存点。
当前的伦敦剧组由艾玛·金斯顿饰演埃尔法巴，齐齐·斯特伦饰演格琳达。卡尔·曼饰演菲耶罗，莎拉·英格拉姆饰演莫里布尔夫人，迈克尔·马图斯饰演巫师，汉娜·库雷希饰演奈莎罗斯，大卫·麦克基奇尼饰演迪拉蒙德博士，罗斯·卡彭特饰演博克。劳拉·埃米特饰演替补埃尔法巴，莉迪亚·格拉德是格琳达的候补。
《魔法坏女巫》的音乐和歌词由斯蒂芬·施瓦茨（《神喻》，《皮平》，《埃及王子》）创作，剧本由温妮·霍尔兹曼根据格雷戈里·马奎尔的小说改编。该作品由乔·曼特洛执导，韦恩·西伦托负责音乐编排。
《魔法坏女巫》已斩获100多项重要国际大奖。在百老汇，它于2004年拿下三项托尼奖，其中包括伊迪娜·门泽尔（Idina Menzel）获得的“最佳女主角”。在伦敦西区，它赢得两项奥利弗奖，其中包括伊迪娜·门泽尔获得的“音乐剧最佳女主角”。该剧还获得过格莱美“最佳音乐剧专辑”奖，并在WhatsOnStage Awards（观众票选戏剧奖）中赢得10项大奖，其中包括三度摘得“西区最佳剧目”。
建议7岁及以上的儿童观看《女巫前传》。5岁以下的儿童不得入场。剧中有些激烈的场面和主题，对较小的孩子可能具有挑战性。
《女巫前传》在阿波罗维多利亚剧院演出，地址是：伦敦威尔顿路17号，邮编SW1V 1LG。最近的地铁站是Victoria（维多利亚线、环线和区域线）。
不需要！虽然《女巫前传》中有您熟悉的角色和对《绿野仙踪》的巧妙引用，但它讲述的是一个完整的故事。不论您是否了解原作，观众都能尽情享受该演出。不过，喜欢《绿野仙踪》的观众会发现不少趣味的彩蛋。
舞台音乐剧启发了由辛西娅·艾莉佛和爱莉安娜·格兰德主演的电影改编。虽然故事相同，但现场的戏剧体验提供了无法在银幕上复制的壮观舞台效果——包括艾尔法巴在观众上空飞翔的场景。
