What is Wicked about?
Wicked the Musical is based on the acclaimed novel by Gregory Maguire that re-imagined the stories and characters created by L. Frank Baum in ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’. Wicked is the incredible untold story of an unlikely friendship between two girls, who first meet as sorcery students.
Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda The Good, and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. Packed with thrilling technical wizardry, dazzling costumes, an ingenious and witty story and show-stopping songs, Wicked is an unforgettable, enchanting experience that is not to be missed.
The musical has cast its spell over audiences of all ages across the world for a decade, and it continues to be a record-breaking hit at London’s Apollo Victoria Theatre, where it has become the 10th longest-running West End musical of all time.

From the moment we arrived at the theatre we were treated graciously. Our 86 year old mom was in a wheel chair and needed assistance. BRIAN 'SARGE' personally escorted us to our seats and made sure we got out of the theatre to our Uber. His knowledge of the theatre and history was very thorough. This show marked a great moment in our trip to England. Thank you!!

We are not strangers to the Broadway stages and found this performance to be equally as professional and entertaining. Kudos to working with Ticmate as they made this process easy. The tickets were waiting for us at the theater and all we had to do was exchange our email voucher. It's so nice when things go according to plan. Would use this process again.

The musical was great. My wife really enjoyed it. We were staying one block away and easily walked to and from the show. The seats at the bottom of the top balcony were fine with vision and sound fine.
