I think this may be why many newspapers and reviews have not been kind about it, but I believe they have missed the point. The review is a reflection of their opinion as well, as they managed to stay awake. All around I could hear seats squeaking away it was usually bored kids who were using their seat as a swing and ignorant parents not saying any thin to them. 8:40am only 3 in the queue. We are really keen (but nervous!!) The show itself was indeed 'Wicked'. It's easy when something is naff or great. His singing wasn't on a par with Norbert Leo Butz and Kerry's voice overpowered his during the duet, but his acting and dancing was good. As for the show itself, it was wonderful, Alexia Khadime was amazing as Elphaba, her voice was incredible. Gina Beck has big shoes to fill after Louise, but we liked her a lot, she sings beautifully and was very sweet. and the answer is, "yes, absolutely." I wonder if, in time, she would be able to join the incredibly short list of actresses that have played both Glinda and Elphaba (and, of course, the triple threat of Dorothy as well!). Fantastic seats! Kerry Ellis was on as Elphaba and Dianne Pilkington was on as Glinda. I was amazed at how much they seemed to approve of everything they saw and heard. The sound mix is not as clear in those seats, got a lot of the fantastic music but it was not always easy to make out the lyrics being sung by the actors during some numbers. But loved them. The seats were adequate (Stalls Row T 3 to 5) although I was surprised that, booking at 10 am on the first day the 'Kids Week' (annual London event - editor) tickets went on sale I couldn't get better tickets. "Popular" was extremely funny, Alexia Khadime's "No Good Deed" really showed the evil and wicked character of Elphaba and "Defying Gravity" was spectacular! Got 2 tickets centre front row AA5 and 6, £20 each. See the green girl as you’ve never seen her before, let your heart “Defy Gravity,” and allow Wicked to change you - “for good..”  Magnificent singing, dancing and movement. ........ well, yes and no. __________________________ Everyone and everything else was great too (Fiyero was pretty). Diego Some readers have also commented on the sound. Rows Q to Z 10 to 37: £67.50 except _______________________________ Found the theatre with my invaluable Theatremonkey book. She is a great little actress too and for me is the best Elphaba yet (yes, better than Kerry and Idina). Linda O'Reilly The ending of Act 1 is one of the most powerful I have seen.... Act 2 can't quite match its power but it's still a good ending, a nice one. Some of the scenes in this show seemed to serve little or no purpose, whereas others were simply overlong. Rows ZE to ZJ: £42, Dress Circle: Well worth the £62.50 per seat! _______________________ Download the App from Todaytix, unlock the "Rush Ticketing" feature by sharing on Facebook or Twitter, and that will allow you to buy tickets. You do look up, but only a little, the worst is at the start with Galinda in her bubble - conversely the best is when Elphaba is menacingly overhead in 'Defying Gravity.' a bit of the big picture set was missed but still so worth being so close. What was good with it - the sets were excellent, the story linked in cleverly to the film and the sheer enthusiasm of the cast - for the sake of the cast, I hope it runs. This is a very dark, yet humorous, show and definitely one for musical aficionados. So Yesterday (Friday - 2nd June.2017) - I arrived at the Wicked theatre steps at 6:00am and I was the first one there (if you don't count the homeless folks asleep). Rows A to F: £72 except Wednesday 28th August 2019: 4th at 8.15am. You do miss a bit at the beginning but its nothing to fret about... Kerry Ellis was amazing and Dianne Pilkington was amazing as Glinda.. A small (very small) irritation is that Q23 is on the junction of two centre aisles, the position where the drinks and ice cream sellers position themselves, so if you're staying in your seat for the interval, be prepared for quite a bit of traffic — as I say minor quibble. I also got a very good look at: Plus with the exception of Elpheba and the Wizard the cast have been made British and given clear cut accents - which avid fans of the soundtrack may find odd to begin with. I love him a lot. The acoustics were terrible and we could hardly understand what Glinda was singing half of the time. The seats are not set aside to one another either, i.e. Received a matinee ticket for G22 (back centre of the dress circle) for 29.50£. I know, I know, it's won awards and Kerry Ellis is amazing I agree. First ones there at 7am. I had high expectations as reviews say it is great. She isn't over the top high pitched, she is just a very posh, well spoken humorous Glinda. Love the show!! I’ve written many times about seats in various parts of the theatre so will be brief!! We booked our tickets through lastminute.com for £20 each, (though beware even though they say they don't charge a booking fee they do - and then they say they don't but that it is the theatre that charges and blames them) so we actually paid £22 each. _______________________. Have fun trying to spot the references to the film "Wizard of Oz"!! Box office opened at 12 noon today. I have seen Kerry Ellis as Elphaba, Alexa Khadime and Ashleigh Gray. I arrived at the box office at 9.45am to expect to find a long queue for day seats and thought that I would end up buying a student ticket (still at the same price as a day seat but obviously not front row). These seats were side right to the stage. We got 4 front row tickets (A29-A32) at £20 each. That happened a lot. Saturday 20th April 2019. is the single most hilarious comic actress I’ve ever seen onstage, reducing me to a giggling lump in “popular,” laughing so much it hurt. Went to see "Wicked" tonight (15th September 2006), well to be more accurate I saw about 45 minutes of "Wicked." I had seen the show twice with the amazing Idina Menzel and the question I asked myself was "Is the star the show" or "Is the show the star?" _______________________________ They were great seats and hardly any of the show was missed. As a spectacle it remains unrivalled and the chemistry between the two leads made for an entertaining evening, but I don't think I would hurry to go back again. Levitation, perhaps, but hardly flying! On a related point, why don’t they have these on the back of every seat (especially towards the back), it’s annoying to have to pass around between 2/3 people? Good view, close to the stage where you can see all the actors trying their best (except Desmond Barret who is still terrible). Released for the performance on that day, first-come, first-served. After a great meal at Dim T (buy one get on free in October - so very reasonable too) we arrived at a rather chaotic theatre reception area. We sat in the circle seats A 7, 8 and 9. ), Unfortunately the show was obviously aimed at a much younger audience so I didn't stay, it's also worth mentioning that I left one and a half into the show, and there was no sign of an interval until two more scenes were completed, so certainly not a show for fidgety or restless people, in fact by the end of the first hour, you have an almost constant stream of people walking the gangway in front of row Q to get to the toilets. Course if what I saw was Idina Menzel sick, I can only imagine what she's like when she's fully healthy. Our seats were Row E 21 to 25 in the Dress Circle and we had a good view, seating was well raked and all the stage was visible. What a woman….acting perfect, singing perfect and one must on this occasion separate her singing voice from her belting voice as it is quite possible that this woman has another little person living in her larynx ready and waiting to add to the volume when required. You just have to see it again and again and again! We wanted to see this show when we were in the States last year but couldn't get a ticket for love nor money (there were tons of Americans in the audience of the performance we saw!) ________________________________ I would definitely mark these seats green (value for money). By opening time, I reckon there was around 20 - 30 in the queue. Pimlico, Having booked months in advance for best seats, I was eagerly looking forward to seeing Wicked. When I saw it in the stalls you get to better appreciate the design of the set and all the individual actors on stage. Good view of stage and, by sitting further back, you seem to take in a lot more of the show and notice more of detail put into the set. In spite of the hype surrounding this mystery musical, I reluctantly conceded to my girlfriend’s insistent pleas, and booked some tickets in the centre of Row G in the Circle. There is a ledge in front because of the staircase and I couldn't see sitting back (and I am 5ft 8).
