Loved it!

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!!

Wickedly entertaining

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.

Gina Beck (Glinda) recently finished a two-year season starring as ‘Christine Daaé’ in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera at London's Her Majesty’s Theatre. She made her West End debut in 2006 as ‘Cosette’ in Les Misérables at the Queens Theatre and recently performed in the 25th Anniversary Concert at The O2.

Matt Willis (Fiyero) first shot to fame as a member of the chart-topping, BRIT award-winning band Busted. In 2006 he won the popular ITV show I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!. He has subsequently made countless TV appearances, many alongside his wife, presenter Emma Willis. Having originally trained at the Sylvia Young Theatre School, Matt returned to his theatre roots in 2010, to make his West End debut as ‘Nick Hurley’ in Flashdance. He most recently starred as ‘Chuck’ in the UK national tour of Footloose.

Desmond Barrit (The Wizard) originally starred in WICKED in 2008/09. The Olivier award-winning RSC and National Theatre actor has just finished playing ‘Falstaff’, directed by Sir Peter Hall, to great acclaim.

Gina Beck (Glinda), Matt Willis (Fiyero), Desmond Barrit (The Wizard), Lillie Flynn (Nessarose), Christopher Howell (Doctor Dillamond) and Adam Pettigrew (Boq) will join current WICKED stars Rachel Tucker (Elphaba) and Julie Legrand (Madame Morrible) from Monday 12 December 2011.
