Wicked the global hit musical is an international phenomenon and if you’ve seen the Broadway, Shanghai or Melbourne version first you’ll be itching to get to London. Why London breaks to see Wicked? Because of the massive Apollo Victoria theatre, the thronging masses of Wicked fans there and the fantastic new cast who are taking Wicked to new heights. Here’s Alexia Khadime the new Elphaba. wicked witch singing “The Wizard and I” solo at West End Live London 2009.

Wicked Theatre Breaks In London
http://theatrebreaksinlondon.co.uk/28/wicked-theatre-breaks-in-london/
Wicked theatre breaks in London might be centered around the Victoria area, with the huge Apollo theatre for Wicked being located near London Victoria station as well as several top quality hotels nearby. Go before December and you’ll have a chance to see the new Elphaba, wicked witch perfoermed by Alexia Khadime who is surely making for a superb replacement for Kerry Ellis. This video is from the West End Live show last weekend, and gives a low key idea of what Alexia can do I think.
While in the Victoria area for a Wicked theatre break, I’d head south down to the riverbank and take a look at the Tate Britain art museum if that’s your kind of thing. It makes a nice change from the more popular Tate modern these days. On the day of the show why not have an enjoyable bar snack style lunch at Chimes of Pimlico Restaurant
