Apollo Victoria Theatre | Wicked Seating Chart & Best Ticket Deals

Expert Guide to Finding the Best Seats for Wicked in London

Discover the perfect seats for Wicked at Apollo Victoria Theatre with our detailed seating analysis. Whether you're looking for budget-friendly options, premium views, or the sweet spot between price and experience, we'll help you navigate this iconic Art Deco venue's unique layout.

Best Value Tickets (Budget-Conscious Choices)

• Dress Circle Row X ($62): Rear section but with excellent elevated views of the stage's magical effects. Perfect for those prioritizing savings over proximity.
• Stalls Row ZF ($110): Back section of Stalls but with good sightlines—better legroom than more expensive forward Stalls seats.

Sweet Spot (Best Balance of Price & View)

• Dress Circle Row Q ($110): Mid-Dress Circle with perfect elevation to appreciate the show's spectacular flying sequences and set design.
• Stalls Row ZB ($126): Center-rear Stalls with comfortable viewing angles and good sound balance—avoids potential neck strain from front rows.

Higher Tier Options (Enhanced Experience)

• Dress Circle Row O ($126): Front Dress Circle with immersive views of the stage's intricate details and actor expressions.
• Stalls Row Y ($143): Mid-Stalls with direct sightlines to the stage floor—ideal for catching every detail of Elphaba's transformations.

Premium & Last-Minute Splurges

• Stalls Row C ($177): Close enough to see facial expressions during emotional numbers like "Defying Gravity."
• Dress Circle Row C ($211): Premium central position with perfect vertical/horizontal sightlines for the show's aerial choreography.
• Dress Circle Row B ($243): Ultimate VIP experience—front-center Dress Circle combines proximity with the ideal elevated perspective.

Key View Differences

• Dress Circle vs Stalls: Dress Circle (first balcony) offers better overall perspective for Wicked's flying scenes, while Stalls provide intimacy with ground-level action.
• Front Rows Warning: Stalls rows A-C may require slight neck tilt for full stage view due to steep rake—Rows D-K often have ideal sightlines.
• Side Sections: Extreme side seats (especially in Stalls) may miss some projections on the proscenium arch.

Our Top Recommendations

• For First-Timers: Dress Circle Q-Rows (center) provide the "signature Wicked experience" with full appreciation of the production design.
• For Superfans: Splurge on Dress Circle B/C to study the actors' performances up close while maintaining optimal elevation.
• For Groups: The $62 Dress Circle X tickets offer exceptional value—you'll still catch all the magic while saving for souvenir programs.

Pro Tips

• The Apollo Victoria's Art Deco architecture means even "restricted view" seats often only miss minor staging elements.
• Dress Circle front rows have a safety rail that may slightly affect sightlines for very young theatergoers.
• For matinees, right-side seats (audience left) avoid potential afternoon sun through the stained glass.
