If you go into the main entrance (the one opposite Victoria Station) you will go up a few stairs and there's the box office on your right. The screen is high above the box office.

My first time for Wicked, and I thought it was incredible! Not a weak link in the cast. Laura Pick was so fantastic to watch and the duets with Helen Woolf were sung so beautifully. Her chemistry with Michael Colbourne in ALAYM was lovely and completely mesmerising. Stalls E11 is a great seat to see everything and appreciate the lighting, costumes and choreography. Just a fab show all round I literally can't fault any of the cast.

Not strictly related to the London production but Lindsay Pearce is heavily rumoured to be replacing Hannah Corneau as Elphaba in the Broadway production.

If London gets a new Elphaba in the Summer then all current productions of Wicked will have had a brand new Elphaba in the last 12 months!

They've released a new photo of Laura and Alistair in As Long As You're Mine and it is gorgeous! Totally new angle, I've never seen a photo like that before. I think it will have been Matt Crockett?

Looking forward to seeing this tonight - first time in over a year (I saw a really awful night in Jan 19 when everyone was a cover and no one was any good so I've waited for a bit...)

Oh it's nice to see Wicked GOOD again!
Really enjoyed the show last night - I haven't been for over a year so it felt right to go back.
Laura took a little while to get going for me, but then was fantastic from I'm Not That Girl onwards. DG was great, and she knocked No Good Deed out of the park!
Helen is an incredible Glinda. It's the first time I've watched Wicked and been focused on Glinda and her journey really. She said lines in ways I've never heard before, and is properly funny too (which I've missed seeing a Glinda be).
Kim Ismay was a brilliant Morrible - the side eye and the little glances she gave were hilarious!
Just nice to see an old favourite again last night, and it be really good 🙂

If London gets a new Elphaba in the Summer then all current productions of Wicked will have had a brand new Elphaba in the last 12 months! Well we all know that’s not likely, with the recycling London does. Random thought but I wonder how much longer Wicked will go on for in London |

Speaking of cast change, I was thinking Laura and Helen will both be offered an extra year. The only other person I could see potentially playing Elphaba is Lucie Jones.

I think that if I was LJ I’d tell ‘em to stuff it! If she’s tried nine previous times and wasn’t considered to be ‘right’, the only thing that has changed is her profile and personal success. ‘Waitress’ has been just as high profile during her tenure; maybe with a different audience but high profile all the same. If she’s desperate to play it fair enough, but if she was just after a job I think they’ll be better coming along soon.

Yes, they look great!
Also, Amy Webb is on as Elphaba in London tonight. I believe this is her first show? I'm sure she will smash it!

Wicked have tweeted that Natasha Ferguson is leaving today. I suppose this means Carina will be back next week!

Showed up early yesterday morning (26th February) for some day seats, getting there first in line just before 7am. Turned out to be a silly idea as by 10am there were just six(!) people queuing - most of which only arrived about 9:50! One told me they'd first got there about half 8, only to see just two of us queuing so was was able to come back much later and still get their place. But it meant I got a nicely central A24 and A25 for the evening show, which was a nice surprise for the friend I went with who had no idea how close we'd be to the stage! I last saw the show way back in 2009 when I paid £30 for good circle seats, when Alexia Khadime was Elphaba. Still brilliant after all these years, I'd assumed they'd added the 'Let It Go' reference in recent years, but a quick search tells me it's always been there and just a happy coincidence  |

So excited to finally be back seeing Wicked on the 6th of March. I haven't seen the show since September 2018 so it will be quite the treat!

I went by the box office yesterday (26th) just before noon, and managed to get A23 for the matinee! It seemed like a pretty empty performance on the whole - only 7 of us on the entire front row and a good chunk of seats (at least 10 rows) were empty back right of stalls.

Natasha Ferguson returns to play Glinda tonight, making her the first actress in history to play all 3 witches!

The level of jealousy I'm feeling is not healthy. Major congrats to Natasha! Her Elphaba was fantastic, so I am sure her Glinda will equally match this!
