Apollo Victoria Theatre, London

Still choosing seats? This is one of the biggest theatres in the West End, and from the back of either level you're a long way from the stage, so where you sit matters. Stalls row Q is the seat we recommend above any other, because there's no row in front of it. The front block of the Dress Circle is the alternative, and the back of the Stalls is the value, as long as you don't mind missing a bit of the flying. Prices start from around £25, and midweek costs less than a weekend.

Already booked? Arrive 25 to 30 minutes before, no later. The Stalls are 33 steps below the foyer and there's no lift to them, so allow time on the way in. If you need step-free access, the way in is Vauxhall Bridge Road, not the main Wilton Road entrance. There's no cloakroom, so bring only what fits under your seat. An evening performance of Wicked has you out around 10:15pm.

What's On at the Apollo Victoria Theatre

Wicked is booking here until Sunday 30 May 2027. It opened on 27 September 2006 and has played here ever since, which makes it one of the longest-running shows in West End history. Twenty years in one building, which Wicked reached in September 2026, puts it among a handful of West End shows, with Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Cats and The Lion King.

That's a booking-until date, not a closing date. The calendar gets extended as the run goes on, so 30 May 2027 tells you how far you can book today and nothing about when the show ends.

Wicked runs 2 hours 45 minutes, including a 20-minute interval. Evening performances are Tuesday to Saturday at 7:30pm, with matinees on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 2:30pm, and there's no performance on Mondays.

Wicked ticket prices

Our tickets run from around £25 up to around £150, and up to around £250 for the best seats at a weekend. Midweek costs less than a weekend at every level of the theatre, so a midweek performance is where the money goes furthest.

Three to five times a year we run exclusive prices on Wicked, which have put seats at £20 and £25, and good seats at up to £65. They're not every week, so they're worth catching when they come round.

All-in pricing, the price you see is what you pay. Tell us your budget and we'll tell you which block it actually reaches, which in a theatre this size is worth asking before you book rather than after.
