I recently treated my manfriend and I to see Wicked at the Apollo Victoria, and having see it before in 2008, held high expectations for the performance.
And boy did they deliver! It hadn't changed a bit which made me love it even more. The staging is simple yet blows you away with how they're able to move the scene so quickly from one place to another, yet make each place look different. With special effects including Glinda's bubble, rain and the Wizard's mask, each helps make the story come to life and immerse you within it.
The storyline is amazing, and really explores the characters of the Witches in more detail than the Wizard of Oz does, but it's the actresses' voices that really help make it. We were all the way back in circle row R but the power of their voices still manages to hit you, and give you goosebumps!
It is a must see musical for anyone visiting London, and I rate it above the Lion King - another amazing performance.
Tickets range from around £20 to the pricer £80 (for better closer seats), and it is worth every penny!
