Advantages: beautifully set, sung and danced Disadvantages: very long and not the happiest of story lines and heavy score
...for children. I was in New York when it first premiered on Broadway and I was given a CD with a couple of songs from the musical in a promotion while in New York (at a McDonald's on Times Square of all places). I was never too keen on actually seeing the show, in particular when thinking about the prices charged to go to the theatre in London (or New York). The music and lyrics were written by Stephen Schwartz who is not new to the musical scene but ...

Advantages: A brilliant show and a total spectacle Disadvantages: Maybe the price??
As a long-time lover of The Wizard of Oz and also fairly recently introduced to the work of musical theatre 'IT' girl, Idina Menzel, I was naturally eager to see Wicked when I heard it was coming to London. I can categorically state the I was not disappointed in my decision - so much so that after going to see it at the beginning of October, I am now booked to see it again next month. I wouldn't normally be quite this frivolous, but given that Idina ...

Advantages: almost everything, a great musical Disadvantages: a little scary in parts, ,crowded theatre entrance
I went to see Wicked only yesterday at the apollo victoria theatre, Something I had been looking forward to for ages. I was very very impressed.
THE THEATRE
Wicked is showing at the apollo victoria theatre, which is a very nice theatre indeed. As you walk in it is very fitting for the show, there is not really much there, but there is a bar and a few shops. The entrance, however, is quite crowded and me being autistic, this did freak me out a ...

Advantages: Fantastic actors, actresses, costumes, stage and special effects Disadvantages: Expensive for alcoholic drinks
On November 3rd 2007 I travelled from Cumbria to London with a friend to watch the Wicked musical at the Apollo Victoria Theatre, I was blown away by the amazing actors, actresses, costumes, stage and special effects.
The musical is based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch, and tells the untold story of the wicked witch before Dorothy arrived in OZ. After weeks of contemplating I decided to watch the ...

Wicked Tech review Review ofNew Musical Wicked, Apollo Victoria Theatreby
OperaBuff
Advantages: Good Lighting Disadvantages: Bad sound
...much hype about about the new show, Wicked, at the Apollo Victoria, with some commentators proclaiming it the best show EVER seen in the west end. A mighty smoking dragon hanging over the stage at the beginning started to justify this opinion, but the sound of the band at the outset was weak and let down the the opening number by not being clear enough. Perhaps the sound engineer could hear it very well from his position but his responsibilities extend ...

Advantages: Technically very good Disadvantages: Storyline a bit weak
...been much anticipation about this new musical and from my childhood intimate knowledge of the Wizard of Oz, I was very egar to see it.
Having a good knowledge of the backstage workings of a theatre I was generally very impressed with the technical element of this show. Minor light splodges and problems with clarity of words was a bit of an irritation for me, although it did not distract from the general enjoyability of the show.
The end of act 1 ...
