Wicked, the record-breaking West End musical, is playing at London’s Apollo Victoria Theatre. Now booking to January 2027, with tickets from £25.
Based on Gregory Maguire’s bestselling novel, Wicked tells the untold story of the Witches of Oz — long before Dorothy arrived. Follow the unlikely friendship between Elphaba, a misunderstood green-skinned young woman, and Glinda, the ambitious and popular blonde, as they navigate life at Shiz University and discover how their choices will shape the future of Oz.
With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, Disney’s Pocahontas and Enchanted) and a book by Winnie Holzman, Wicked features some of the most iconic songs in musical theatre, including Defying Gravity, Popular, and For Good.
Now approaching its 20th anniversary in the West End in September 2026, Wicked is the 9th longest-running show in West End history and the 7th longest-running musical. The show has been seen by over 13 million people in London alone and has won over 100 major awards worldwide, including three Tony Awards and two Olivier Awards.
The smash-hit film adaptation, starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, introduced the story to millions of new fans worldwide — and the West End production is the original and best way to experience Wicked live on stage.

Wicked Review By Terry Eastham
My final piece of advice for you then – watch The Wizard of Oz, go and see Wicked – then watch The Wizard of Oz once more. You will realise that your perception of the film may not have been changed for the better, but it has been changed for good!
