Why You Need to See It

• Wicked is the blockbuster “untold story of the Witches of Oz”, following green-skinned outcast Elphaba and bubbly Glinda from school frenemies to powerful women on opposite sides of a corrupt regime, reframing The Wizard of Oz from the so‑called Wicked Witch’s point of view and asking who gets to write history.
• The West End production at the Apollo Victoria Theatre has been running since 2006 and is now extended into at least 2026, making it one of London’s longest-running shows and a modern classic that has become a rite of passage for many first-time theatregoers and devoted repeat visitors alike.
• From 25 March 2025, the 2025/26 London cast is led by Emma Kingston as Elphaba and Zizi Strallen as Glinda, with Carl Man as Fiyero, Sarah Ingram as Madame Morrible, Michael Matus as the Wizard, Hannah Qureshi as Nessarose, David McKechnie as Doctor Dillamond, Ross Carpenter as Boq, Laura Emmitt as alternate Elphaba and Lydia Gerrard as standby Glinda.
• This pairing brings serious vocal firepower and acting nuance: Kingston is known for big-belt roles (Heathers, Evita), ideal for Defying Gravity and No Good Deed, while Strallen, fresh from Mary Poppins, has the comic chops and crystalline soprano needed for Popular and Thank Goodness, promising a strong emotional arc for their evolving friendship.
• Stephen Schwartz’s Tony-nominated score balances pop, rock and classic musical theatre, with Act I highlights including No One Mourns the Wicked, The Wizard and I, What Is This Feeling?, Dancing Through Life, Popular, I’m Not That Girl and the showstopping Defying Gravity; Act II deepens the tone with Thank Goodness, As Long As You’re Mine, No Good Deed, March of the Witch Hunters and the bittersweet duet For Good.
• Defying Gravity closes Act I with Elphaba literally taking flight above the stage, surrounded by guards and a storm of light and sound, while For Good offers a quiet, devastating farewell between Elphaba and Glinda that has become one of contemporary musical theatre’s most beloved friendship songs.
• Other songs each carve out distinct emotional beats: The Wizard and I captures Elphaba’s naive hope, Popular is Glinda’s fizzy “makeover” lesson that hides insecurity, I’m Not That Girl reveals Elphaba’s unrequited love, and No Good Deed is her anguished declaration that every attempt to do good has backfired, pushing her into the role of “wicked”.
• Eugene Lee’s original Tony-winning set and Susan Hilferty’s costume designs create a steampunk-flavoured Oz filled with clockwork gears, dragon motifs and metallic flourishes; the massive mechanical Time Dragon overhead, twisting staircases and moving bridges give Oz a sense of industrial magic rather than pure fairy tale.
• Costumes are thematically rich: Elphaba’s dark, layered, asymmetrical dresses and witch’s hat contrast with Glinda’s sparkling, pastel ballgowns and bubble dresses; the Emerald City citizens wear structured, exaggerated green ensembles that hint at both whimsical fashion and authoritarian uniformity, visually reinforcing the story’s political undercurrents.
• The transformation of Elphaba’s look—from student uniforms to full black witch regalia—tracks her journey from hopeful outsider to vilified rebel, while Glinda’s shift from frothy, over-embellished gowns to slightly more grounded styling suggests her gradual moral awakening and the weight of public responsibility.
• The show has amassed a slew of awards, including three Tony Awards (for Scenic, Costume and Best Actress on Broadway), two Olivier Awards, and a Grammy for its Original Cast Recording, which has sold nearly four million copies and helped songs like Defying Gravity and For Good cross over into mainstream repertoire.
• Wicked’s staging relies heavily on theatrical magic: flying monkeys, levitation effects, trapdoors, smoke, loud crashes and vibrant lighting cues create moments of surprise that feel particularly impactful in the cavernous Apollo Victoria, making it worth seeing live even if you know the score inside out.
• Beneath the spectacle, the plot explores prejudice, propaganda and moral ambiguity: the Wizard’s regime uses misinformation to scapegoat animals and Elphaba, Glinda learns how complicity can hurt others, and the story suggests that “wickedness” is often a label imposed by those in power rather than an inherent trait.
• Age guidance from the Apollo Victoria and ticketing sites recommends Wicked for ages 7 and up, noting that some scenes—such as the Wizard’s chambers, mob hunts and death scares—can be intense or frightening for very young children; babies and children under 3–5 years are not admitted, and under‑16s must sit with an accompanying adult.
• To enrich the experience, listening ahead to The Wizard and I, What Is This Feeling?, Popular, I’m Not That Girl, Defying Gravity, As Long As You’re Mine, No Good Deed and For Good will help you follow the musical motifs tied to Elphaba and Glinda, and appreciate how their harmonies evolve as their relationship shifts from rivalry to complex, enduring bond.

Is Wicked suitable for children and families?

Families often bring older children and tweens, as Wicked has lots of humour, colourful staging, and a strong friendship story, but it also includes some loud, dark, and mildly scary moments. Many family guides and reviewers say it is best for children around 8–10 and up, especially those who can follow a fairly complex plot and don’t mind occasional frights and loud effects.

How long is Wicked booking for in London?

Future touring plans may be announced, but at the moment the main way to see Wicked in the UK is at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London.

Does Wicked use special effects or have content warnings?

Wicked features strobe and flashing lights, loud sound effects, and some startling moments, including magical explosions and intense scenes, which can be overwhelming for very young or sensitive viewers. The age guidance and “7+” recommendation also reflect these production elements, so patrons with light or sound sensitivities should consider this when booking.

How can I find cheap Wicked tickets and check showtimes?

Cheaper tickets are often available for midweek performances, especially Tuesday to Thursday evenings and Sunday matinees, and for seats further back or to the sides in the Dress Circle or Upper Circle that still give a good view.
