About Wicked
Before Dorothy arrived in Oz, there was another story — one never told. Wicked tells the incredible untold story of the Witches of Oz: Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. Long before Dorothy drops in, two young women meet as sorcery students at Shiz University. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfil their destinies as Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
With a touring production and hit movie breaking records worldwide, this is your chance to see the original West End production at the Apollo Victoria Theatre — where it's been wowing audiences since 2006.

“Brilliant production but arrived 5 mins late and had to wait for a scene break. Get there early! The theatre bar is lovely for a pre-show drink.”
