    The show was splendid and the theatre was well maintained. We arrived a bit late, the staff were friendly enough to show to our seats. The cast of Wicked gave spectacular performances and we loved the three hours of our experience at the theatre. The snack options were good as well, however I guess they can introduce more range.

    Amazing show!! We managed to get into the theatre with ease and served at the bar quickly. The staff showing us to our seats were helpful. I bought the tickets on the same day, lots of seats still available last minute.

    Wicked was totally wicked, the theatre was first class, the production was superb, even our seats which come with the warning of restricted view were great, only small gripe is the speakers were right next to us at the front and the music sometimes drowned out the performer's. They could of done being raised a little. But will definitely go back again.

    Seeing "Wicked" the musical was a dream come true, a moment I had been eagerly anticipating since I was 18. So, to finally witness the enchantment of this spectacular show on my birthday was beyond words; turning 34, being in my favorite place that I call home and managed to get to see "Wicked" was another dream come true. To top off this incredible day, Miriam, one of the staff member, went above and beyond to make it truly unforgettable. From the moment I stepped into the theater, she could see I got truly emotional and her kindness and attentiveness made the experience even more magical. Her assistance was a heartwarming touch, her genuine care and dedication of the staff at "Wicked." I'm immensely grateful to Miriam for her thoughtfulness and for contributing to a day that will forever be etched in my memory. "Wicked" not only met but exceeded all my expectations, leaving me with a sense of wonder and an even deeper appreciation for the magic of theater. Thank you, Miriam, and thank you, "Wicked," for an unforgettable birthday celebration.

    Just watched Wicked at the Apollo, it was superb. Great location right next to Victoria station. Started 7.30 finished 10.20 with a 20 minute interval. Packed house, Saturday night. Bars were speedy, and had a few choices for alcohol free. Pretty pricey as you would expect. Sat in row X in the stalls, seats 17-19, perfect viewpoint. The show was thoroughly enjoyable, key characters were superb. High recommended.

    When going to see a performance at the Apollo theatre you need to be there an hour before the show starts. As we were early we decided to order cocktails. While ordering, we were informed about an opportunity to upgrade for the VIP lounge. It costs 15 pounds per person, but you get a private lounge with snacks and drinks with lovely, extremely helpful staff that even escorts you to your seats .... And it includes a free drink, meaning we paid 6 pounds extra for a quiet, intimate lounge where we could store our stuff, use a private bathroom and have drinks waiting for us at intermission. Highly recommended and book ahead as the lounge only seats about a dozen people! So much more pleasant than standing around with your fellow 2,300 theatre attendees! We went for 'wicked' which cost us about 75 pounds per person... Sitting in the front row hanging balcony next to the stairs. The seating was great, with excellent views of the stage and actors. The atmosphere of this impressive and large theatre is great as well, especially if you aren't from London or even the UK.... And so conveniently located next to Victoria Station.

    Great show and amazing cast for the Wicked musical, which we thoroughly enjoyed. A must see! If anything, seats were a bit stiff, but totally compensated by the astonishing production. Totally worth every penny.

    It was really good! They might want to check seat H31 as it was a little wobbly. They didn't have any sweet popcorn either. Overall though the show was quite spectacular, looked and sounded great! The Interval was very much welcomed to stretch the legs!

    Fantastic show that is suitable for all of the family. The Apollo Theater is situated in close proximity to the Victoria underground. Also situated near numerous bars, restaurants and shops. Options to buy drinks in the lobby and near your seats before the show starts and during intermission. Also the option to preorder drinks on an app and have them delivered to your seats to avoid any queues. Very comfortable seats. Photographs of the stage are from seats E16.

    Great musical with great sloped seats so the stage view is not blocked by a tall person sitting in front. The performers are wonderful too. I’ve seen wicked twice!

    The show was absolutely phenomenal, I got a Daily Dozen ticket on the day for Β£29 and the view I had was amazing! I will definitely be returning to see it in the future as it’s now high up on my favourites. The only downside which, is unfortunately a general theatre thing is that the seats weren’t too comfy and the prices for merchandise, food, etc were the highest I’ve paid for a West End show so far, but regardless, the show was spectacular.

    We went to go see Wicked and paid the extra 20 Pounds for the Ambassador Lounge and it was 100% worth it. They walked us from the lounge to our seats, the at intermission they came and walked us back to the lounge. We had wonderful seats and the show, sound, and lights were amazing. Loved the show and loved the venue and staff.

    Wicked was absolutely incredible. The lighting, the set, live orchestra and of course the performers were amazing and really brought the story to life. The seats in the stalls were very good and not too expensive either. The bar were allowing glasses to be taken into the auditorium and the row in front of us accidentally smashed one on the floor which was potentially dangerous if overlooked and the only reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars

    I have a very soft spot for the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London to the point I was shocked I hadn't left a review yet! This is a fantastic theatre that is dedicated to the theatre production called "Wicked" and the staff here are fantastic in ensuring you will make the most of your trip. Of course, I loved the ambassador lounge, as an add-on you could be served champagne, wine and snacks in a private cloakroom. There are comfortable seats and one thing I do like is if you download their app you can connect your headphones to your device and hear directly through their microphones which is great for the deaf community. When there is a British sign language interpreter which happens up to three times a year, the interpreter is amazing and I always get goosebumps whenever I watch them. They are very passionate about the performance and it shows. I've visited here several times and each time I visit the place always gives me new memories that I will forever be appreciative of. The talent in the cast future present and past are out of this world. If you haven't seen it, please do come and watch it, you won't be disappointed. You can also order your food and drinks through the app to be served to your seat or in the bar and at break time you have the option of using the toilets or going back to the ambassador lounge. It's a great experience and we enjoyed coming and cannot wait for the next one!

    The Apollo Victoria is a beautiful theatre and hosts Wicked, which is a magnificent theatre show. The layout of the stall area is tiered so everyone should have a good view of the stage. I was in row W 26+27 and the view was perfect and centre. Quite a few bars and toilets so that during the interval, you do not need to fear being stuck in a queue for the whole time. A great theatre experience all around.

    We saw the show Wicked in this theatre and it was really well done. The actors were great, brilliant singers, and the show had fun theatrics. The theatre itself is well designed and it was a really nice way to spend an evening.

    Amazing theatre, staff were absolutely lovely and excited for us, which just hyped us up even more. Great location being literally on the other side of the road from Victoria station. The theatre looks amazing inside, themed green everywhere. Our seats in the stalls were amazing and the rest of the row to our left was free so we moved over to be closer to the center during intermission. The show was fantastic, they're so talented. The seats were comfortable and my legs weren't squashed (at 5'7"). I will say be wary if choosing to sit so close (we were in row F) that the speakers on the right side were very loud before we moved closer to the center and they use a smoke machine 3 or 4 times which comes into the first chunk of seats. I was fine but if you have any breathing issues then maybe think of sitting further back or in the dress circle.

    Large theatre that has seating that was actually reasonably comfortable. Went for midweek matinee and the front was not packed at all, so didn't have anyone sitting next to us or directly in front, was sitting in dress circle F29. View was great. I think it would have been good even with someone sitting in front. Make sure to take snacks with you as the stuff they have there is just so expensive. My eyes watered at the Β£5 for an absolutely tiny I've cream pot during the break. Entry in was fine, usual bag search stuff. Can recommend. The production of Wicked itself was great! Some fantastic performers! Two leading ladies obviously steal the show! Thoroughly enjoyed!

    We went to see Wicked the Musical at the Apollo Victoria Theatre on 24/11/23. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 for the production. Great seats position, albeit quite narrow and uncomfortable. 🌟🌟🌟 Unfortunately, these theatre want more bums on seats over the comfort of the customer. Was not a full theatre, lots of empty seats in the more expensive areas. Could have had more leg room and elbow room ideally. I did feel the person next to me was too close and was conscious of not moving/adjusting in my seat too much to cause disturbance. This pic is for seats G25, G26 and G27. Very great central location. The show was wicked!! Very enjoyable and was nice to not know what to expect unlike other shows. The theatre is so easy to locate. We used the tube and got off at Victoria. On exiting the station, the street was lit up in green light from the theatre directly opposite. Would recommend the show.

    What a fantastic show! We arrived unsure of what to expect and not knowing if it would be our thing. It was fabulous with great vocals, performances, and some unexpected comedy. We had seats in H32, H33 slightly to the left hand side and they were approx Β£90 inc booking fees. This was much cheaper than sitting a few seats more central. Having an aisle was also good for getting out and getting a good view. We didn’t miss anything from our seats. The bar were happy to refill water bottles for free which was perfect considering the weather (30+ degrees!) and they didn’t seem fussed by us bringing in some sweets we had purchased before visiting St James Park. A bottle of 7 UP was Β£4 so like the cinema it is worth planning ahead. I’m not sure if the building is Air Conditioned but we were comfortable throughout.

    Nice Theatre, the night we went, it wasn't very full. Loads of empty seats. Big Theatre, Wicked was a good show, and the dancing customers were fabulous. However, to me, the singing of songs I felt went on a bit too long.
