Wicked is one of London's best-loved musicals, the untold story of the witches of Oz and how they came to be Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. A long-running smash with a soaring score, it is a hit with teenagers and adults alike.
About the show
A prequel of sorts to The Wizard of Oz, Wicked follows the unlikely friendship between green-skinned Elphaba and popular Glinda, with showstopper songs including Defying Gravity. The renewed interest from the recent films has made it more popular than ever, so book ahead.
Where to see it and tickets
Wicked London plays at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in the heart of the West End. Tickets are sold through the official theatre and authorised agents; book ahead for weekends and school holidays. For the cheapest seats, see our guide to cheap theatre tickets, and make an evening of it with things to do in London at night.
Good to know
Arrive 30 minutes early, dress is smart-casual (anything goes in the West End), and most musicals run around two and a half hours with an interval. Pair it with dinner from our restaurants guides and a pre-theatre table in Covent Garden or Soho.
