    Advantages Advantages Great Show, Amazing Set, Special Effects!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages scary in parts!

    While on holiday in New York in 2003 we decided we really wanted to go and see the new musical Wicked. This musical is based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 Novel 'Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West' It was transformed for the stage by composer and lyricist Steven Schwartz and writer Winnie Holzman with the help of a brilliant creative bringing the Technicolor magic of Oz to life with some incredible set design and costumes. 'Wicked' is the story of what happened in Oz before Dorothy arrived, why is the Wicked Witch wicked? Why is she green? How the scare Crow became, and the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good musical, great characters, fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None really

    Are we born Wicked, have bad people been Wicked all their lives or are they just a product of their upbringing and the circumstances put upon them? This past weekend I went to see the musical Wicked with my husband. The show is being played at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, London. The nearest tube stop to this theatre is Victoria. If you are planning to go soon do check the tube dates/times as the Victoria lined is currently beingworked on over the weekends so it was shut and we had to use an alternative line to get there. The theatre itself is a Grade II listed building which first opened in ... more

    Advantages Advantages Spellbounding, magical,great for kids and adults

    Disadvantages Disadvantages changes your perception on the classical wizard of oz

    This musical will change your perception on 'the wizard of oz' for sure!!! forget the wicked witch of the west, after watching this musical you will empathize with the wicked witch rather than hate her!!! this musical opened on broadway in 2003 and i was lucky enough to get free tickets to go see it through the acting academy i was studying at. Not knowing what it was really about or even heard of the original book i decided to go after hearing from my friends it was fab. So off me and my boyfriend went to see this muscial we nothing about. I was blown over and spellbounded!!!! mind the pun ... more

    5 Stars Quick review of New Musical Wicked by talasabz 28/08/2007
    I found this play very entertaining and enjoyable. It certainly appeals to the kids, as its bright, colorful and fun. It has an element of romance to it, and a pleasant ending to it. We really enjoyed attending this play, and the music was fantastic. The storyline goes around 2 girls who met at school and their lives got connected in a weird way. I forgot to mention that the play has a comedy/fun element to it, with many nice jokes. ;) Njoy. certainly worth seeing and worth every penny. have fun

    5 Stars An American Musical in London 19/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Impressive set design. Twisted take on Oz. Lovely greenery.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slightly rushed second half?

    Took the missus to see a preview in London at the Apollo Victoria. Although initially reluctant to see it - she loved it (and so surprisingly enough did I). I like musicals but was expecting this to be a bit of a borefest like Lion King (ie telling almost exactly the same story as the movie). Instead I found it a clever, witty and twisted take on the Wizard of Oz - part prequel/part comtemporaneous to the original. For a musical there's some quite sophisticated messages - history being written by the victors etc. The set design was amazing - as was the choreography, lighting (spell casting) ... more
