The Apollo Victoria Theatre is a theatre that has hosted Wicked since 2006, and a theatre I know all too well having played The Wizard during the UK’s 10th anniversary in 2016 and returned in 2023.

It’s quirky, silly, funny musical entertainment, and I liked it so much more than I thought I would.
