The Apollo Victoria Theatre in London

Since opening September 27th 2006, Wicked has had a fabulous run so far in the West End and more is yet to come. Wicked is now into it's 18th spellbinding year.

The London production has seen some all-star casts, including original Broadway cast member and 'Frozen' star Idina Menzel, international star Willemijn Verkaik, Louise Dearman, the only actress to have played both Glinda and Elphaba thus far, and of course, the unforgettable Rachel Tucker. Latest to take to the stage is former Elphaba, Alexia Khadime, who took over the role from Lucie Jones, who became the first Welsh actress to play Elphaba.
